Dark Duet: A 'Dark' Series Thriller - Paperback

by Peter Cheyney (Author)

Kane looked at her appreciatively. 'I don't know whether anybody's ever told you, but you've got the swellest pair of legs I've ever seen, ' he said. Valetta looked at him sideways along her dark eyelashes. He thought she was very beautiful; her mouth delicate, sensitive, almost tremulous. He could look at it for hours on end. It was that sort of mouth . . .

'The British, once they take the gloves off - once they forget to play cricket, to be English gentlemen - they are the toughest things on earth, ' says one German espionage agent to another in Dark Duet.

Dark Duet was originally published in 1942.
