About The Python Project
The case of a missing bracelet ensnares a 1960s London PI in the edge-of-your-seat third Rex Carver mystery from the author of Doubled in Diamonds. An antique gold python bracelet, with diamonds for eyes and emeralds for scales, has been stolen from the home of its owner. The insurance company accountable for the jewelry wants it found, sharpish, and hires private investigator Rex Carver to recover it. When Carver discovers that the thief has also disappeared, an international chase around the Mediterranean ensues. But as he closes in on his target, so too does the net constrict around him. Rex must slip the coils of this snake while he can still breathe . . . Perfect for fans of Ian Fleming and John le Carré, The Python Project is classic thriller from one of the masters of the genre. Praise for the writing of Victor Canning “A sheer master.” —The New York Times Book Review “Mr. Canning’s inventiveness never flags for a moment.” —The Daily Telegraph “Worthy to stand beside John le Carré.” —Publishers Weekly “Witty and well crafted.” —Mystery File
