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 stumbles from a babysitting job into a mob war in "The Reluctant Chaperon"; shoots for the heart in "The Greenwood Maid"; betrayal puts both Modesty and Willie in the gladiatorial arena in "Those About to Die"; and in "The Inca Trail", the duo save two children...and stop a revolution! Featuring brand new story introductions by Modesty creator Peter O'Donnell, plus an exclusive O'Donnell interview, this latest addition to the "Modesty Blaise" library is not to be missed!
