And the most recurring color is blood."--Publisher's Weekly. "Specializing in action noir, William Arthur Howard Baker got his break writing for the Sexton Blake series of detective thrillers in the mid 50's, eventually becoming an editor. He reused many of the plots from this popular set of stories for his own spy series. A pen name of his was Peter Saxon."--Goodreads. PLEASE VIEW OUR STORE FOR MORE GREAT BOOKS THANKS!
