Mayhem in Greece by Dennis Wheatley Vintage Book Mystery Thriller 1960's First Thus Hardback BCA

" In Mayhem in Greece, Mr Wheatley has produced a new type of hero in Robbie Grenn, a charming but mentally retarded young man who, owing to an injury when young, has never been to school, and is regarded by his family as almost a moron.

Espionage would hardly seem to be his metier, yet to prove that he is as good as other men Robbie takes up the challenge that lands him in peril of his life many times.

Interwoven with his adventure is the story of his relationship with the lovely Stephanie, the first girl with whom the chronically shy young man has ever had more than a passing acquaintance. "

Despite some of the unavoidably outdated language this is an interesting exploration of 'not your usual hero' in this vintage thriller and although not Wheatley's greatest - such as his other Black Magic, Gregory Sallust and Roger Brook series of books, still a highly enjoyable romp.

Other highly popular series by the Dennis Wheatley were the:

•The Black Magic Series
•The Roger Brook Series
•The Gregory Sallust Series
•The Duke de Richleau Series
•The Molly Fountain Series
•The Julian Day Series
•The Lost World Series

Well worth a read if you love Dennis Wheatley books and these classic 20th century thriller novels.
