Description
A Secret Service thriller of double-cross and double double-cross! As exciting as only Cheyney can make it.
The Second World War has just ended and the Secret Service discover that two lists of German war criminals have vanished. Peter Quayle is the head of the responsible department, and he is now tasked with the recovery of the lists. Instead of sharing the job with his usual agents he calls in a special group of people who operated behind enemy lines during the war.
Quayle's second in command, Michael Frewin, appears too dapper to be an effective agent - but he is a cold blooded killer. Then there is Antoinette Brown, the 'Practical Virgin' - elegant, sexy, immune to men and a first-class brain. She recruits Aurora Francis and then the suave, debonair Anthony Keirnan - a former agent with hidden depths.
Once the team is complete, the novel follows twist with turn, rocketing ever faster towards a final, shocking conclusion.
Dark Wanton was originally published in 1948.
