His Excellency, Governor Wallace by Alexander Wilson
BOOK 5 in the Wallace of the Secret Service series The government of Hong Kong has been systematically defrauded of 100 million dollars, state secrets have been sold and funds embezzled. The people who have investigated the crimes have wound up dead, so the British Prime Minister asks Sir Leonard Wallace to take up the post of Governor of Hong Kong and uncover the deadly organisation taking hold of the city.
'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 'Without Alexander Wilson there is no James Bond, there is no Bourne, there is no George Smiley. Unmissable' Tony Parsons
