‘Witty, outrageous and devilishly ingenious.’
Evening Standard

Denis Hillier went to get a defecting scientist back from Russia. He didn’t realise he wasn’t supposed to come back himself. Tremor of Intent, first published in 1966, is a spy thriller with a villain who makes the devil look like a vicar, a beautiful girl with a technique that makes the Kama Sutra look like a kid’s primer, and characters who change their personalities as frequently as their shirts.
