Joyce Porter has already distinguished herself by creating the most loathsome detective in fiction: Chief Inspector Dover's fans are found far and wide. She has now invaded the sacrosanct territory of the spy story, giving us Edmund Brown, who is certainly the most loathsome and reluctant spy ever to set off behind the Iron Curtain in a salmon-pink Bentley. Brown's astonished metamorphosis from snivelling schoolmaster to ruthless and cunning agent has a splendour about it all the more awe-inspiring when one considers that he is not sent alone on his delicate mission. |
