Description
The dark underworld of espionage and crime is lit up by the fatal charms of the gorgeous Modesty Blaise - high priestess of pulp crime and goddess of cult thrillers! Modesty Blaise has a close encounter in "Take Me To Your Leader"; both Modesty and her partner, Willie Garvin, must save a young girl from a deadly plot in "The Highland Witch"; and in "Cry Wolf", Sir Gerald Tarrant tries to hoodwink the daring duo with a false kidnapping...but all hell breaks loose when a real kidnapper strikes! Featuring brand new story introductions by Modesty creator, Peter O'Donnell, plus a very rare interview with O'Donnell, this latest addition to the "Modesty Blaise" library is not to be missed!
