Desmond Bagley Pořadí knih (chronologicky)
Desmond Bagley byl britský novinář a romanopisec, proslulý svými nejprodávanějšími thrillery. Spolu s dalšími britskými autory, jako byli Hammond Innes a Alistair MacLean, definoval základní konvence žánru: drsný, vynalézavý, ale v podstatě obyčejný hrdina postavený proti padouchům s cílem zasít zkázu a chaos. Jeho díla často zkoumají konflikty v exotickém prostředí a odhalují temné stránky lidské povahy, zatímco napínavý děj plyne jako řeka. Bagleyho styl se vyznačuje rychlým tempem, precizním vykreslením akčních scén a důrazem na psychologické napětí.

Double action thrillers by the classic adventure writer set in Norway, Finland and Sweden. THE TIGHTROPE MEN When Giles Denison of Hampstead wakes up in an Oslo hotel room and finds the face looking back at him in the mirror is not his own, things could surely get no more bizarre. But it is only the beginning of a hair-raising adventure in which Denison finds himself trapped with no way to escape. One false move and the whole delicately balanced power structure between East and West will come toppling down… THE ENEMY Wealthy, respectable George Ashton flees for his life after an acid attack on his daughter. Who is his enemy? Only Malcolm Jaggard, his future son-in-law, can guess, after seeing Ashton's top secret government file. In a desperate manhunt, Jaggard pits himself against the KGB and stalks Ashton to the silent, wintry forests of Sweden. But his search for the enemy has barely begun… Includes a unique bonus - Desmond Bagley's pen portrait, written for the original publication of The Tightrope Men.

Un misterioso vassoio che nasconde un antico segreto e una lettera lasciata da un conquistatore spagnolo sono gli unici indizi per raggiungere una città sepolta: la città "tutta d'oro" di Uaxuanoc. A Jemmy Wheale, un uomo qualunque dall'esistenza assolutamente normale, ma erede dei due oggetti, accade così di trovarsi di colpo tra le rovine dei siti maya, catapultato dalla sua tranquilla fattoria del Devon nelle foreste selvagge dello Yucatan, dove tutto può accadere e dove Jemmy scoprirà di essere un uomo coraggioso, disposto a difendere la donna che ama e pronto a salvare la preziosa ererdità che Uaxuanoc ha serbato per i posteri.
