The Tightrope Men / The Enemy Summary

The Tightrope Men / The Enemy by Desmond Bagley

Double action thrillers by the classic adventure writer set in Norway, Finland and Sweden.

THE TIGHTROPE MEN

When Giles Denison of Hampstead wakes up in an Oslo hotel room and finds the face looking back at him in the mirror is not his own, things could surely get no more bizarre. But it is only the beginning of a hair-raising adventure in which Denison finds himself trapped with no way to escape. One false move and the whole delicately balanced power structure between East and West will come toppling down...

THE ENEMY

Wealthy, respectable George Ashton flees for his life after an acid attack on his daughter. Who is his enemy? Only Malcolm Jaggard, his future son-in-law, can guess, after seeing Ashton's top secret government file. In a desperate manhunt, Jaggard pits himself against the KGB and stalks Ashton to the silent, wintry forests of Sweden. But his search for the enemy has barely begun...

Includes a unique bonus - Desmond Bagley's pen portrait, written for the original publication of The Tightrope Men.

The Tightrope Men / The Enemy Reviews

'Bagley is a master storyteller.' DAILY MIRROR

'Sizzling adventure.' EVENING STANDARD

'Bagley has become a master of the genre - a thriller writer of intelligence and originality.' SUNDAY TIMES
