Product Description
by Peter Cheyney (Author)
"Isn't life wonderful! Everybody else gets the fun and I carry the spades and quicklime."
Quayle is the master of a British spy ring in World War II. He is unprepared to deal with tough guy Foden, a man newly arrived in London from Morocco armed with information about German troop movements. This intelligence could change the course of the war - but is Foden the patriot he seems, or something else entirely?
Quayle leads his agents through the twists and turns of the murky 'need-to-know' espionage world, one recognizable to readers of John Le Carré and Len Deighton. It is a world populated by those prepared to sacrifice everything for the cause of war.
The Stars are Dark was originally published in 1943.
