Victor Canning

The Melting Man

The London PI is sent to France in pursuit of some hot wheels in this “first-class professional thriller” from the author of The Python Project (The Times Literary Supplement).
Rex Carver wants a holiday—is determined to have one, in fact. So, when millionaire Cavan O’Dowda attempts to hire him to track down some stolen property, the answer is a flat “No.” Until, that is, Cavan’s beautiful daughter, Julia, arrives to collect him.
The property in question is a top-of-the-range Mercedes, missing in France somewhere between Evian and Cannes; the driver turned up in Cannes without the car, and with no memory of the prior forty-eight hours. O’Dowda wants the vehicle, and the papers concealed within it, recovered at any cost . . .
The Bond of private investigators sets out on his final mission, perfect for fans of Elmore Leonard and Raymond Chandler.
