The Mystery of Tunnel 51 cover

BOOK 1 in the Wallace of the Secret Service Series Chief of the Intelligence Department Sir Leonard Wallace - bearing always the hall mark of coolness and wit - is up to his earlobes in trouble. Summoned by the Viceroy of India, he makes a rapid flight to India to investigate the mysterious death of British officer Major Elliot and the theft of some very important dispatches.

'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 'absolutely spellbinding ... I was gripped all the way through and enjoyed the work tremendously. Well recommended.' Terry Halligan, Euro Crime 'If you enjoyed the crime fiction of the era, Campion being case in point, or more so if you followed Hannay's adventures beyond The 39 Steps, then you'll love this' The Bookbag 'An exciting introduction to an accomplished, long-over-looked crime writer, and to a cool, intelligent hero' Good Book Guide 'Without Alexander Wilson, there is no James Bond, there is no Bourne, there is no George Smiley. Unmissable'. Tony Parsons
