Into Battle

A former London police officer turned special intelligence agent for the M.O.5., Luke Pagan enters his newest case chasing down a German spy, who is discovered traveling through and around Britain on the eve of the Second World War.

Michael Gilbert, voted a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America and his native Britain, has written fine books about crime and espionage set in all periods of the 20th century. Into Battle is a wonderfully rich and exciting story which begins just before World War I, as London policeman Luke Pagan joins a brand new intelligence agency and goes into battle against a much better organized and funded legion of German spies. More vintage Gilbert in paperback include The Crack in the Teacup, Ring of Terror, and Roller-Coaster.
