Recently, I had the opportunity to read a book called When eight bells toll written by Alistair Maclean.
Guardian had mentioned this book to be 'High-wire tension' and what a roller coaster it turned to be. An superbly written thriller.
The story takes place in Scottish highlands where a ships containing high value shipments were getting mysteriously vanished with no trace. The final nail in the coffin comes when a £8 million shipment in Gold Bullion is ransacked and 2 British agents are murdered. Can Philip Calvert, a secret service British agent, solve the mystery. Can he find out the murderers and can he get the stolen gold back to the nation. An amazing fast paced story and I absolutely loved it. The story is written is dry, self deprecating humor which is really good.
This book is a must read for all people who love thrillers.
