Issue Description

Secret agents, hush-hush flights to Occupied France...as one of the pilots involved, Danny Cooper knew that too often the reception committee waiting for them was German. Someone on the British side was spilling the beans.

Years after the war was over, Danny was to be offered the opportunity to settle these old scores - far away from Britain or France...in the jungles of South America.

Introduction

...but here the flashbacks are handled well and used sparingly.

[Five minutes previously]

This cracking yarn has a compelling mystery at its core - and expertly flits between a post-World War II setting and a wartime espionage-tinged flashback.

Normally, I'm not a huge fan of flashbacks. If done badly they can interrupt the flow of the story and even cause confusion for the reader...

[Back in the present]

...but here the flashbacks are handled well and used sparingly.

See what I mean?
