"She and Willie Garvin are two of my favorite characters, whose adventures I've enjoyed since their debut. The villains are diabolical, the schemes are wicked, the supporting cast a delight. I looked forward to each new novel the way the neighborhood kids do the next installment Harry Potter."[About the Authors] Peter O'Donnell, 1920-2010, has written in many media, but since he created" Modesty Blaise," which was first published in 1963, it has achieved international success.
