β¦ Synopsis
The City of London is Britain's financial beating heart and a nest of gossip, intrigue and greed. The Government has always been powerless to control its activities. But when a sinister foreign company looks set to take over one of Britainβs oldest banks, which in turn controls government secrets, Colonel Russellβs Security Executive is faced with a dilemma β to watch, wait and let the free market operate, or to act and cross the invisible line into the Arena . . .
Written fifty years ago, William Haggardβs remarkable City of London thriller is as relevant to todayβs financial sector as it was in the Sixties. The Arena is the third in William Haggardβs Colonel Russell series of hugely acclaimed Cold War thrillers β now available in digital version for the first time.
For fans of Ian Fleming, John le CarrΓ©, Charles Cumming and Frederick Forsyth.
