MEET AUGUSTUS MANDRELL — but be careful when you do . . .
No one is sure who Augustus Mandrell is, where he came from, or where he will turn up next. He is a master of disguise, a connoisseur of beautiful women, and an expert assassin. He can speak several languages — and lie fluently in all of them. He will kill anyone for a price — and he doesn’t leave witnesses.
From England in 1939 to America in 1950, via France, Iran and Ireland during and just after World War II, the services of Mandrell Limited are available to all — or all who can pay. Each commission comes with a contract which has two main clauses:- You will be charged a fee in keeping with the excellence of the service;
- You will pay that fee.
- Woe betide anyone who ignores Clause (2).
IN THIS THREE-BOOK BOX SET:
BOOK 1: OF ALL THE BLOODY CHEEK!
The fun-loving, fast-talking assassin-for-hire takes on his most daring mission yet. Mandrell forms a troupe of dancing girls to gain access to an American prisoner-of-war camp and take down a turncoat French officer. But all does not go smoothly.
BOOK 2: RATHER A VICIOUS GENTLEMAN
Augustus Mandrell aims to commit the ultimate ‘locked room’ murder. He succeeds in penetrating a subterranean military facility in order to assassinate a Nazi war criminal. His plan is perfect, but even the best-laid plans can sometimes go awry. The chameleon-like contract killer must use all his skills in disguise, deception and psychology to survive.
BOOK 3: FOR MURDER I CHARGE MORE
For a while Scotland Yard can relax. The notorious assassin-for-hire Augustus Mandrell is crossing the Atlantic to ply his unholy trade in America. His latest commission sees Mandrell smuggling Hitler’s double out of Europe while being pursued by agents of the OSS, the IRA and the Israeli Irgun. What could possibly go wrong . . .
