When Tarrant of British Intelligence finds himself a prisoner facing weeks of mind-bending interrogation, he clings to one slim hope -- that Modesty Blaise and her formidable henchman, Willie Garvin, will suspect his well-faked death in a road accident and will find him before he breaks. It is in Macao that Modesty and Willie discover the vital lead to Tarrant's whereabouts.

"I lent this to my best friend's husband who totally did not appreciate its splendor. I'm reminded that I need to get this back from him and also to read more Modesty Blaise."
"A more traditional adventure; this time Modesty and Willie have to save Sir Gerald from the evildoers who have captured him. I really liked this one for how quietly feminist it was; the men in Modesty's life never think less of her because she's female, but this is a really great reversal of the usual action/adventure stereotype of (male) hero having to save (female) love interest. (Not that Sir Gerald is her love interest, but still.) Very nicely low-key send-up of the traditional tropes."
