Action thriller by the classic adventure writer set in Iceland. 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 realises he has been double-crossed and that the opposition is gaining ground, his simple mission seems impossible… The suspenseful nature of RUNNING BLIND by Desmond Bagley is what makes it a top fiction in the realm of thrillers. The best of its kind, it keeps you on the edge, making the impossible seem possible. For fans of Eric Ambler (The Schirmer Inheritance), Dick Francis (In the Frame), Michael Connelly (The Proving Ground), Elly Griffiths (The Locked Room), and Robert Harris (Act of Oblivion).Zum Buch
