Desmond Bagley

    29 ottobre 1923 – 12 aprile 1983

    Desmond Bagley è stato un giornalista e romanziere britannico, noto per i suoi thriller di successo. Insieme a contemporanei come Hammond Innes e Alistair MacLean, ha contribuito a definire le convenzioni del genere: un eroe forte, pieno di risorse, ma essenzialmente ordinario che affronta antagonisti determinati a seminare distruzione e caos. Le sue narrazioni spesso esplorano ambientazioni esotiche, svelando gli aspetti più oscuri della natura umana pur mantenendo una trama avvincente. Lo stile di Bagley è caratterizzato da un ritmo serrato, sequenze d'azione magistralmente costruite e una marcata attenzione alla suspense.

      Double action thrillers by the classic adventure writer set in Norway, Finland and Sweden. THE TIGHTROPE MEN When Giles Denison of Hampstead wakes up in an Oslo hotel room and finds the face looking back at him in the mirror is not his own, things could surely get no more bizarre. But it is only the beginning of a hair-raising adventure in which Denison finds himself trapped with no way to escape. One false move and the whole delicately balanced power structure between East and West will come toppling down… THE ENEMY Wealthy, respectable George Ashton flees for his life after an acid attack on his daughter. Who is his enemy? Only Malcolm Jaggard, his future son-in-law, can guess, after seeing Ashton's top secret government file. In a desperate manhunt, Jaggard pits himself against the KGB and stalks Ashton to the silent, wintry forests of Sweden. But his search for the enemy has barely begun… Includes a unique bonus - Desmond Bagley's pen portrait, written for the original publication of The Tightrope Men.
