JAMES HADLEY CHASE

Mallory

     A small French resistance group comes to London after World War II, to avenge the death of their leader, Pierre, betrayed to the gestapo, by Brian Mallory, one of their own members. But the traitor, Mallory, proves to be more than a match for them, and two corpses later, the remaining decide to call in for outside help. They choose Martin Corridon, ex-British agent, ex-commando, who is somewhat dishonest, but very very tough. Actually Corridon is more interested in accepting their money and double-crossing them, but he is caught in a murder rap, engineered by this group. So Corridon has no choice but to tail along and really start looking for the elusive Mallory...
