Running Blind and the Freedom Trap

Well-known and acclaimed for their fast pace and rich local color, adventure thrillers by the classic action writer are presented here in double doses, each volume including special bonus materials Running Blind: The assignment begins with a simple errand—a parcel to deliver. But to Alan Stewart, standing on a deserted road in Iceland with a murdered man at his feet, it looks anything but simple. The desolate terrain is obstacle enough, but when Stewart realizes he has been double-crossed and that the opposition is gaining ground, his simple mission seems impossible. The Freedom Trap: The Scarperers, a brilliantly organized gang that gets long-term inmates out of prison, spring a notorious Russian double agent. The trail leads Owen Stannard to Malta and to the suave killer masterminding the gang. Face-to-face at last with his opponents, Stannard must try to outwit both men—who have nothing to lose and everything to gain by his death. Previously unpublished, the short story "A Matter of Months" is also included, about a murder in a casino.
