Pieces of Modesty: (Modesty Blaise) Peter O'Donnell (Book Reviews)

* THE UNMISSABLE MODESTY BLAISE SHORT STORY COLLECTION * 'The finest escapist thrillers ever written' THE TIMES 'Before Buffy, before Charlie's Angels, before Purdy and Emma Peel, there was Modesty Blaise' OBSERVER In this classic collection of short stories, Modesty Blaise and her trusty lieutenant Willie Garvin find themselves fighting foes around the world. From South America to Berlin and Finland to London, they use everything that comes to hand, from a circus cannon to human kite-flying, to survive against the odds. Including 'A Better Day to Die', 'The Giggle-Wrecker', 'I Had a Date with Lady Janet', 'A Perfect Night to Break Your Neck', 'Salamander Four', and 'The Soo Girl Charity', this is an essential addition to any Modesty Blaise fan's library.

Pieces of Modesty Avis

These books are the finest escapist thrillers ever written * The Times *
Lighter in tone than Fleming's novels, the Modesty stories are especially rich in characterisation, with the sparring between Modesty and Willie Garvin always a highlight... No self-respecting Modesty fan should be without it * Choice *
In the beginning there was Modesty. Cooler than the pretentious James Bond, tougher than the brain-dead Mike Hammer -- Lauren Henderson, author of Dead White Female
Before Buffy, before Charlie's Angels, before Purdy and Emma Peel there was Modesty Blaise. For almost 40 years, Peter O'Donnell's iconic heroine drop-kicked her way through a swath of villains and into a unique place in popular culture * Observer *
One of the great partnerships in fiction, bearing comparison with that of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson -- Kingsley Amis
O'Donnell is one of those rare popular writers, like Josephine Tey or P.G. Wodehouse, who inspire not just fandom but love * New York Times *
Modesty Blaise was the comic-strip criminal genius, turned occasional secret service operative, who managed to combine timeless beauty and elegance with the ability to break every bone in your body... there's never been a better time to become acquainted * The Crack *
The continuing renaissance of the immortal heroine: thrilling, humorous and timeless adventures, the Modesty Blaise series are seminal British crime novels * Crime Time *
