    About this ebook

    Des Pond is probably unique as special agents go! He is indifferent to the lifestyle usually associated with this employment, but his determination to catch those responsible for the murder of five Russians in a British prison leads him into adventures in several countries.
    Will he catch up with the murderers and bring them to justice?

    Gordon S. Dickson

    Gordon S. Dickson was born near Inverness, Scotland, but left there soon after when the family returned to Northern Ireland, where he still resides. He was educated at Secondary and Grammar schools, and scraped through English ‘O’ level, as essay writing was not a strong point. He was employed in the Civil Service for a number of years and is now retired. He has only recently taken up writing. He enjoys reading, gardening, watching football, and occasional visits to the cinema.
