DRUMMER IN THE DARK
Francis CIifford
With Drummer In The Dark Francis
Clifford has created a brilliant novel
of suspense. It is the story of an
intelligence operation in a running
war of bombs and violence; of the
careless inhumanity of greed, the
brutal sufferings of love:; of one man
desperate on revenge for the lives of
friends, indifferent to his own well-
being: of another intent upon his own
desires, indifferent to the death he
carries with him.
Moving between Warsaw and
London, from the deceit of cobbled
Polish alleyways to high, anonymnous
offices in Whitehall ; from warm
whispered intimacies in foreign
tongues to cold, strange distances in
a suburban English home; from the
desperation of the wild, insistent
hunter to the despair of the hunted,
cornered man, transfixed on his
own deeds; this is above all the
story of an extraordinary
confrontation between two men: a
British intelligence officer and an
arms smuggler.
And in the telling of the story, in the
richness of character
