The Secret Trail (Jimmy Rezaire #2)

Anthony Armstrong

Jimmy Rezaire, newly released from prison, opens a Private Inquiry agency and immediately gets drawn into trying to rout a spy ring that has stolen the Murchison bomb sight and plans to smuggle it out of the country to Russia. His one-time girlfriend Vivienne and pal Harry Hyslop (aka H.H.) have been running a shoplifting scam, which adds further complications! "Armstrong's understanding of drama keep the books moving swiftly, while the plot unfolds in snappy dialogue and exposition…the fun is watching Jimmie as he thinks and fights his way out the various deadly traps set by the opposition and the chases in fast, low-slung cars, motor boats, airplanes, and on trains, across rooftops, down foggy roads, through busy London streets, and across the Channel in France." –David L. Vineyard (Mysteryfile.com) "A swiftly moving detective story…should satisfy the most jaded taste." – Brooklyn NY Daily Eagle

The Trail of Fear (Jimmy Rezaire #1)

Anthony Armstrong

The game was up. Jimmie Rezaire knew it, but he was sure that his carefully laid plans would enable him to escape. They were complete to the last detail; nevertheless every second was valuable. His pals must shift for themselves; even Viv, much as he hated to leave her. Then an unforeseen delay occurred. A lost minute put disaster only a step away. For twenty-four desperate hours, Jimmie evaded pursuit. Every minute prolonged the agony and raised the threat of discovery. Jimmie could match wits with anyone, but he could not match muscle. Sheer adventure, a crescendo of excitement, and hair-raising suspense crowd along the Trail of Fear, the long flight in the dark. A crime novel in the tradition of Bulldog Drummond and Arsene Lupin!
