The Dolly, Dolly Spy

“The Dolly, Dolly Spy’s got modernity, sex appeal, enormous speed, cheekiness, high-tension, some four-lettered words and great originality.” So begins the accolade by Whitefriar of Smith’s Trade News, Britain’s leading advance spotter of best sellers, for Adam Diment's first spy novel. It is a unique bit of mod-fiction, introducing Diment’s delightfully uninhibited creation, Philip McAlpine, whom Whitefriar asserts is “certainly going to rival J. Bond, and Deighton’s Harry Palmer. He could become a household word.” Philip McAlpine suddenly finds himself a professional spy the day British Intelligence blackmails him into an assignment. McAlpine is a good pilot, able to speak Greek, able to use a gun, and experienced in Intelligence work—all necessary talents for his new role as part of International Charter Incorporated, a cargo and passenger service which guarantees to fly anything anywhere, for a price. To McAlpine is assured their biggest cargo. And from then on, from the Texas desert to the Aegean, he has to talk fast, and move even faster, to stay alive. A most modern and amusing spy story which has already caught the eye of the film industry and is appearing in seven foreign countries.
