Dead man falling by Desmond Cory is a
gripping spy thriller that will capture your imagination all the way
to the end. As you read along you will fill as though you are part of
the story as you travel across Europe with Johnny Fedora and his
lovely companion Marie Andree while track down a stash of diamonds.
You will find yourself going through all of the same experiences that
Johnny and Marie go through as travel on the train. Your mind will be
reeling as you try and figure out the true identity of the former
Nazi that is also after the diamonds to fund the rebuilding of the
post-war Nazi party.
You will find the characters so well
developed that you will feel that you know them. There is the prim
and proper Sebastian Trout,Johann Biel the banker with a passion for
mountain climbing, Kurt & Eva Mann with their Martin and the much
in love honeymoon couple of Paul & Marie-Andree Vidal. The more
you read you will wonder if any of these people whom they say they
are.
Mr. Cory does a great job of adding
details to the story that actually will conjure up visions of the
places the the main character travel. You can picture yourself
accompanying Johnny Fedora and Marie Andree as they enter the inn in
the little Austrian village of Oberneasl. The richness of detail is
not just limited to the scenery as you will also be able to picture
the characters as though they were standing right in front of you.
I would highly recommend this book to
anyone that is a fan of spy novels. If they love characters such as
Len Dieghten's Bernard Samson or Ian Flemming's James Bond you will
enjoy this book.
