Spy Hook First of the second trilogy of Bernard Samson spy novels in which Bernie slowly uncovers what he thinks is a secret slush fund of millions run by his defector wife with Bret Rensaeller (thought to be dead, but who turns up recuperating in a California ranch).

Da Cunha is now openly the former Nazi Knabel, and he confirms that the expensive lab is to continue working on his (madcap) scheme to turn ice into water for military purposes, before beginning to froth at the mouth (literally) about the rebirth of a Europe-wide Fascist movement. Don’t ever think or hope that the great mess of investigation that we work on is suddenly going to resolve itself like the last chapter of a whodunnit… After we’re all dead and gone there will still be an office with all those manilla dust-traps tied in pink tape.It was to hide the existence of the Weiss List, not to cover the heroin smuggling that his car was blown up at Heathrow. The novel is set mostly in a small fishing village in Portugal, during the António de Oliveira Salazar dictatorship. The narrative is often confusing because the plot is confusing because the basic premise of the series is that spying is confusing. We specialise in rare and hard to come by works on all subjects over the last 500 years, together with modern first editions and decorative sets and bindings.

Adrian Harrington began trading in 1971, as part of Harrington Brothers in the Chelsea Antiques Market on London's fashionable King's Road. Back in Albufeira, with Giorgio and Joe dead (blown up in the Narrator’s car at Heathrow), Singleton requests leave, and, left to themselves, Charly seduces the Narrator. The Narrator patronises him about this because all the time Ossie, a professional burglar we met earlier in the novel, is breaking into da Cunha’s quarters and stealing the transmitter set to the frequency of the buoy at the bottom of the sea off Albufeira which contains the Weiss List.

As a bonus it can power the radio and send a radio signal every time it surfaces - the regular report of local weather conditions that is the primary function of the weather buoy. Da Cunha turns out to be ex-German Navy officer, using the Weiss List to blackmail eminent Brits, and using the proceeds to fund European Fascist movements. This led to him vacating the Bond role after what was to be his fifth (and seemingly final) Bond film. Below this is a compartment containing lead acid batteries, the radio transmitter and receiver and the control system(which is just a mechanical timer and some relays). Davenport costarred with Caine in the underrated war film Play Dirty which was produced by Saltzman.

The novel comes to a climax against the violent backdrop of the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles in April 1992.These machines look like winged torpedoes and they can travel very long distances without recourse to propellers. A 1968 film adaptation of Horse Under Water was planned, but following the poor reception of Billion Dollar Brain it was abandoned.

very good A classic suspense thriller involving Hitler-Germany, drug-trafficking, blackmail and frightening action.

This was the bland name given by Michael Caine to the nameless ‘anti-hero’ of Len Deighton’s original spy novels. Strangers Here they are approached by the charming American, Harry Kondit (aka HK) who knows everyone in town including a weaselly 40-year-old fixer, Fernie, and the highly suspect Big Man of the region, Senhor Manuel Gambeta do Rosario da Cunha. This VLW signal, according to the book, is used to cause the buoy leave the seabed and surface for maintenance. The Weiss List is a list of high-placed individuals in England who were ready to collaborate when the Nazis invaded.
