The Secret Sharers — Keith Dixon

He said, ‘Let's be clear: there are two things that I want to come out of this. First, I want to be sure I'm being followed. Secondly, I want to know by whom. Do we understand each other?' How difficult could this case be? Private investigator Sam Dyke soon learns, however, that Frank Wallace, the client, hasn't revealed the whole truth. And in the world of secret intelligence in which Wallace has earned his living for the last forty years, it's probable the truth has rarely seen the light of day. Dyke travels into London and out of his comfort zone, soon finding himself tangled in a web of deceit in which Government Intelligence services, mysterious blondes, private security firms and vintage Blues music are all bound together. Only he can clear a path through to find out what everyone really wants -- and not just what they say they want. The Strange Girl, the last Sam Dyke thriller, was described as ‘diverting' by The Bookseller, with Sam Dyke being ‘Crewe's answer to Philip Marlowe'. The Secret Sharers is the latest exciting instalment in this action-packed series.
