Victor Canning

The London PI is sent to France in pursuit of some hot wheels in this “first-class professional thriller” from the author of The Python Project (The Times Literary Supplement).
 
 Rex Carver wants a holiday—is determined to have one, in fact. So, when millionaire Cavan O’Dowda attempts to hire him to track down some stolen property, the answer is a flat “No.” Until, that is, Cavan’s beautiful daughter, Julia, arrives to collect him.
 
 The property in question is a top-of-the-range Mercedes, missing in France somewhere between Evian and Cannes; the driver turned up in Cannes without the car, and with no memory of the prior forty-eight hours. O’Dowda wants the vehicle, and the papers concealed within it, recovered at any cost . . .
 
 The Bond of private investigators sets out on his final mission, perfect for fans of Elmore Leonard and Raymond Chandler.

The Melting Man

The case of a missing bracelet ensnares a 1960s London PI in the edge-of-your-seat third Rex Carver mystery from the author of Doubled in Diamonds.
 
 An antique gold python bracelet, with diamonds for eyes and emeralds for scales, has been stolen from the home of its owner. The insurance company accountable for the jewelry wants it found, sharpish, and hires private investigator Rex Carver to recover it.
 
 When Carver discovers that the thief has also disappeared, an international chase around the Mediterranean ensues. But as he closes in on his target, so too does the net constrict around him. Rex must slip the coils of this snake while he can still breathe . . .
 
 Perfect for fans of Ian Fleming and John le Carré, The Python Project is classic thriller from one of the masters of the genre.

The Bond of private investigators returns in another thrilling adventure, perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean and Ian Fleming.
