Callan novel

Oh yes! The Callan novel I found online last week (Death and Bright Water) has just arrived!

James Mitchell wrote five novels based on his Seventies spies grim-fest Callan. I own two, got a third from the library (published recently, total disaster), and now I've got my mucky paws on this one (published 1974).

Had a quick flick through. Here is Callan's first appearance:

Callan looked down from the overpass.

I loved the TV series, and only recently found a copy of Red File For Callan.

And now there's four more! Ooh, wants!
