Derek Marlowe : A Dandy in Aspic (The Derek Marlowe Collection) before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised A Dandy in Aspic (The Derek Marlowe Collection):

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Fans of 1960's espionage will probably enjoy itBy jc_anthroCouldn't quite decide whether to give three or four stars. Gave it the benefit of the doubt. It is a good book, of both it's genre and of it's time. It is dated though, which for me is part of it's charm but for others may be off putting. It is also clearly the work of a young man. At the same it is an enjoyable espionage story which is also a subtle dig at the genre itself (it doesn't treat itself all that seriously). Probably its best aspect is really an evocation of a certain kind of Britishness with a twist of the absurd. Fans of slick modern espionage stories bristling with technical talk and weaponry will be disappointed. Fans of 1960s espionage will probably enjoy it.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A great tale of cold-war espionage and East - West tension ...By J. NelsonAs the suspense builds I found it hard to put this book down - no wonder I'm so tired. A great tale of cold-war espionage and East - West tension in England and Berlin.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Three StarsBy IlberySomewhat prolix

Alexander Eberlin is a small, faceless civil servant working for the Government at the height of the Cold War. As he nears middle age, he allows himself one luxury - to dress like a Dandy. His superiors send him on a mission to hunt down and destroy a cold-blooded and vicious Russian assassin named Krasnevin, who is responsible for a number of British agents' deaths. But Eberlin has a secret - he is Krasnevin. This is the story of what happens when Eberlin is sent to destroy himself. Now back in print fifty years after it was written, The Times says A Dandy in Aspic is 'A well groomed anecdote to today's fast-paced thrillers with gym-buffed heroes. Eberlin is the real deal.'

'Graceful and brilliant' Sir 'A classic of the cold war spy stories - one of the earliest and one of the best. Marlowe's Eberlin/Krasnevin is on the run from himself on different levels and in different places: the evocations of London and Berlin in the 1960s are superb.'
