"Lose yourself in this classic 1950s Cold War spy thriller tracking a British secret agent in Communist Serbia by the celebrated of The Alexandria Quartet, perfect for fans of John le Carre. 'A spellbinder ... Desperately exciting.' Daily Telegraph Methuen is a seasoned British secret agent, weary of espionage missions and desperately in need of a break - but he can't resist an assignment to investigate dirty dealings in the Balkans. A fellow British spy has been murdered in Serbia by a guerrilla gang of underground royalists, the White Eagles - but when Methuen arrives, he soon finds himself in a life-and-death struggle, pursued by both the royalists and Communists alike ... Inspired by Lawrence Durrell's own experiences in the British Foreign Office, White Eagles Over Serbia is a classic Cold War espionage thriller: a white-knuckle adventure perfect for fans of John le Carre and Graham Greene. 'Exceptionally well written [and] brings back memories of boyhood classics.' Sunday Times 'Vivid ... Beautiful descriptions ... Carries us expertly from one excitement to another.' Punch What Readers Are Saying: 'All spy-novel fans should read this wonderful mysterious portrayal of post-war Balkans. Read it now!' 'A very good espionage / thriller novel ... Fantastic descriptions of the post war Yugoslav atmosphere ... Durrell could have given LeCarre some competition.' 'As a setting for adventure and intrigue, the mountains in post-WWII Serbia, are unparalleled.' 'A good old fashioned spy romp over the mountains.' 'A spy thriller very much in the British Boys Own style ... Superlative.'"
