The Mystery of Tunnel 51 Reviews

'The dialogue is reminiscent of that in the early Agatha Christie novels, and there is an air of Simon Templar about Wallace, who seems to be always one step ahead of everyone else.' Books Monthly 'a romping read ... James Bond may find he has a worthy rival' Daily Mail 'absolutely spellbinding ... I was gripped all the way through and enjoyed the work tremendously. Well recommended.' Terry Halligan, Euro Crime 'If you enjoyed the crime fiction of the era, Campion being case in point, or more so if you followed Hannay's adventures beyond The 39 Steps, then you'll love this' The Bookbag 'An exciting introduction to an accomplished, long-over-looked crime writer, and to a cool, intelligent hero' Good Book Guide 'Without Alexander Wilson, there is no James Bond, there is no Bourne, there is no George Smiley. Unmissable'. Tony Parsons
