Solid; 3.5 Stars,

This review is from: Honourable Intentions (Paperback)
Lyall is an under-rated thriller writer. His best books are probably the Harry Maxim series, some of which were made into BBC TV shows. This series, which focuses on the British Secret Service on the eve of WWI, is solid, above average entertainment. Lyall does well with good character development, solid plotting, and reasonable attention to historical detail. Hard to obtain in the US because these books were published in Britain, well worth a few dollars in a used bookstore.
