A one-off espionage novel featuring Swithin Destime

This story concerns a young Englishman, Swithin Destime, who, to avoid an international incident, had resigned from the Army; within weeks he was in Istanbul to check on rumours of a planned uprising.

But as a spy Destime was an amateur, alone in a city of intrigue and fear, a dark web in whose centre squatted the repulsive form of Kazdim Hari Bekar.

Formerly a Palace eunuch, Kazdim was now Chief of the Secret Police – a job which admirably suited his depraved personal tastes....

Gregory Sallust series in
chronological order

"MIDNIGHT at the Casino" is the first chapter heading in this strange story of international intrigue wherein 'planes flit by night to secret landing-grounds and lightless launches nose their way up narrow creeks in a low desolate coastline.

From the moment we meet the beautiful Sabine, during La Grande Semaine at Deauville, until the last page which discloses the end of her romance, the reader is caught up and lives for breathless hours through scene after scene of swift action and stealthy secret work at night.

We meet again that sinister figure of twisted body and twisted brain, Lord Gavin Fortescue, who escaped all penalty for the havoc and suffering he wrought in Such Power is Dangerous; and pitted against him we find that cynical but charming egoist Gregory Sallust, whose courage and imagination saved his friends in the dark hours of Black August.

The story is told with all the skill and speed and plausibility which have delighted readers of Wheatley's tales of romance and adventure all over the world.

Series:

A one-off contemporary espionage novel using the Abbysinian War as the background

Sir Anthony Lovelace had liked the handsome young American at their first meeting, but if he had known that Christopher Penn was one of the celebrated Millers of God, who condemned to death all those who profited from war, he might have thought twice before associating with him. He certainly would have done so could he have guessed that he would find himself pledged to assist in the 'elimination' of an Armenian gentleman named Paxito Zarrif, and that keeping his word would lead him on a chase through Europe and Africa to the heart of Abyssinia, and into a series of terrifying adventures. Yet he was carried through largely by his love for Valerie, Christopher's fiancée; an unspoken devotion that, in Addis Ababa, reaped its reward.
