In Peru, ruthless terrorists plotted to turn an isolated valley into a guerrilla haven. To blackmail the Peruvian government, they kidnapped a group of student volunteer workers, but one was the nephew of the chief of M16. Sent to investigate, special agent Peter Craig had to pit his own deadly skills against the savage cunning of the rebels in a lonely struggle for the lives of the hostages.
Kenneth Benton (1909-1999) served as an MI6 officer from 1937-68, stationed in Madrid, Rome and South America, before turning his hand to spy and crime fiction.
His novels, which draw on his experience in service and extensive travels, were originally published by Collins and Macmillan in the 1960s and 1970s, and are now republished by his literary estate as Kindle editions.
