The book is unique insofar as it puts together for the first time a detailed comparative study of the prose styles of three great writers and their influence on spy and detective fiction today, and then looks at future trends such narratives will take, based on the current technological advances. It analyzes the prose styles of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Ian Fleming and John le Carre (David Cornwell). By breaking down the prose styles in detail, readers will get a good idea of how masters of the game tackle this difficult part of creative writing. The styles of the three writers may differ but the end result is fiction which is both realistic and readable. From the perspectives of a fog-enclosed Baker Street, to various international locations and from there to the intricacies of running a country's most secret office - these are the stamping grounds of the book which the authors tread confidently.This is a captivating book which is a must read for all fans of the spy and detective story genres.
