Another adventure for Modesty Blaise and her sidekick Willie Garvin. This time they're up against a criminal mastermind called Brunel who's seeking a gold mine in Africa - and to destroy Modesty's friend Sir Gerald Tarrant.
The book was written in 1971 so the reader has to keep that in mind when encountering such cringeworthy parts as Modesty declaring she's not a "dyke" because "all my hormones are working properly". But that aside, this is an enjoyable Bond-esque adventure story.
