Sting Of The Honeybee

Poacher, lover, con man, thief - Dan Mallett is many things to many people in the remote West Country village where he lives. Most people underrate him, seeing him only as a busy little handyman with a broad rural accent and a fund of country lore. But the bank where he once worked saw his sharpness of mind; other attributes endear him to the local girls; and police and gamekeepers suspect him bitterly...with good reason. Dan knows the local countryside as well as any prowling night creature, and has his escape routes planned in advance. But in this book Dan finds himself up against a new and terrifying enemy - the big-time "heavy" man from the city. His opponent can muster muscle, men, and arms, and he manipulates those forces with a deadly ruthlessness outside Dan's experience. Trapped in a lonely farmhouse with two frail old ladies and a pretty but frightened girl, Dan's only weapons are courage, cunning, and country skills. In the face of massive power and hostility, he has no option but to fight for his life... 'Sting of the Honeybee' is the second in a new series of suspense novels featuring the delightful and highly individual Dan Mallett. Book Dust Jacket
