Modesty Blaise and Willie Garvin are now cult names in the thriller genre with well over a million copies of the Modesty Blaise series sold worldwide. Penguin India is delighted to present these bestselling books, now collector’s items, in its new series—Retro Revival.

Sir Gerald Tarrant is paid to be suspicious and he has spotted what looks like a truly ridiculous organization; but is the threat to takeover Kuwait as ludicrous as it seems? With top mercenaries from all over the world fading out of circulation, a powerful military strike against Kuwait becomes more than a fantastic possibility.

Modesty Blaise and Willie Garvin play live bait in this second Modesty Blaise adventure, that sets up an epic clash in the Hindu Kush mountains against a mercenary army led by the cold military genius of Karz and the savage power of the killing machine twins, Lok and Chu, fighting to stave off the (now prophetic) strike date of 9/11.
