A high-octane story from the great Eric Ambler of a journalist on the run in the south of France

Lucia Bernardi was last seen driving a car at top speed away from a villa - and the body of her murdered Iraqi lover - in Switzerland. Now disgraced journalist Piet Maas has been sent to find her in the south of France. When he does, he must decide whether to get the scoop of his lifetime - or to plunge into ever more dangerous waters with her.

Featuring a cast of fraudsters, hitmen and Kurdish revolutionaries, A Kind of Anger is a classic thriller from the father of the genre.
