Modesty Blaise
by Peter O’Donnell

A celebration re-issue of the first Modesty Blaise novel, originally published in 1965 and introducing one of the most iconic heroines in British crime fiction.

In this debut novel, Modesty Blaise — former criminal mastermind turned intelligence operative — teams up with her loyal lieutenant Willie Garvin to foil a high-stakes diamond heist spanning Europe, the Mediterranean, and North Africa. Fast-paced, witty, and stylish, the novel set the tone for a long-running and hugely influential series.

This edition was issued by Souvenir Press as part of a programme to re-publish the Modesty Blaise novels with their original cover designs, making them popular with both readers and collectors.

Often cited as a precursor to later action heroines in popular culture, Modesty Blaise remains a landmark character in crime and espionage fiction.
