About the Author:

Leslie trained as a geologist before working as a newspaper columnist, BBC radio and TV interviewer and showbusiness publicist.

From Booklist:

A Brit who makes his home in the south of France, Leslie is a former newspaper columnist and BBC broadcaster who has written some 80 novels under numerous names. This one deals with the disappearance, during World War II, of a huge amount of cash dropped by the British to help the French Resistance. With the money gone, RAF officer Colin Sage is sent into Provence to find answers. The first thing Sage learns is that there are so-called Resistance groups everywhere, each with its own agenda. What he doesn't learn until it's almost too late is that a member of the group who was to get the money has been captured, the whole network has been betrayed, and he has been carefully misdirected by those expected to help him. Leslie's plot has more twists than a mountain road, and the action is nonstop. Solid WWII adventure. Budd Arthur
