'Brian Freemantle, ex-Foreign Editor of the Daily Mail, has, in his own unique style, bid for the highest stakes in the Deighton, Greene and Le Carre school of thriller writing. His world sales already top a million copies, and he has been translated into thirteen languages. Now Euston Films and Thames Television have jointly bought film rights in his earlier book Charlie Muffin, for an international feature film directed by Jack Gold who made Aces High. In this latest adventure, Charlie has gone east. The Chinese millionaire L.W. Lu - or 'Lucky Lu' as he was known in Hong Kong - had efficiently publicized his conversion of a vast mothballed American ship into a floating university for which he had recruited distinguished academics from all over the world. At his well stage-managed press conference, Lu announced that in addition to perhaps the finest education in the world, he was also providing mandatory lectures on the dangers of communism. Remarkably soon after the University of Freedom had anchored off a small island in the Hong Kong archipelago, tauntingly visible from mainland China, Lu's project literally went up in smoke. Lloyd's underwriter Rupert Willoughby admitted he ws desperate when he had called on the services of Charlie Muffin. For the sake of Rupert's father, Sir Archibald Willoughby, who had once been his chief of operations, Charles had agreed to try to find some loophole in what looked like a clear-cut case of liability for 6 million pounds. At the remand hearing in Hong Kong two hastily accused arsonists - who Lu claimed were puppets in a communist attack on his new stronghold of freedom - dropped dead of asphyxiation before Charlie's very eyes. Brian Freemantle's hapless, endearing hero treads a delicat path between the pursuit of his investigation and discovery by American and British intelligence whom he has managed to elude for two years.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
