PRAISE FOR SPY'S HONOUR: 'Cunningly crafted, full of action, and it captures the atmosphere of the time perfectly' The Daily Telegraph 'Told with sly humour and great gusto' Hampstead and Highgate Express The Italian senator thinks the fledgling British Secret Service can offer him protection from assassins, an aeroplane for the Italian army, and the means of fuelling a strike in a Trieste shipyard. Directed by a revered Khyber Pass veteran, new boys Captain Matthew Ranklin of the shires and Conall O'Gilroy of the Irish backstreets are put on the case. Then an insight into the financial world by the glamorous dollar heiress, Corinna Finn, uncovers a hidden agenda. O'Gilroy discovers he has been recruited for a flight that could accidentally change history and Ranklin is forced to think about the conflicting ambitions of Europe on the brink of war and whether honourable behaviour and Khyber Pass rules apply in a Trieste jail. Flight from Honour is a thrilling novel of intrigue and adventure set in the early days of flying and espionage. It follows Spy's Honour which is available from Coronet. - from the back cover -
