The Spy and the Thief: A Jeffery Rand and Nick Velvet

The Spy and the Thief: A Jeffery Rand and Nick Velvet Collection

A double-barreled collectionâ€”two of Edward D. Hochâ€™s most ingenious creations

In the headquarters of Britainâ€™s Foreign Office, a secretary spies a television actor making a copy of a top-secret key. In an island republic, an intelligence operative is murdered just minutes before exposing a Communist mole. And in a bustling eastern city, the Cold War reaches a turning point over a piece of film the size of a pinhead. These are cases for C. Jeffery Rand, the fixer inside Britainâ€™s secret service. He is bright, ruthless, and smart enough never to be surprised by the depths to which an enemy spy might sink.

Where Jeffery Rand is hard-nosed, Nick Velvet has a supple touch. A master thief, Velvet has a particular skill for stealing unusual items. Where ordinary thieves might be content with jewels or bank notes, Velvet pilfers rare tigers, water from swimming pools, and the letters on a company sign.

In this collection, you will find seven stories of Rand and seven of Velvetâ€”two brilliant men, one on either side of the law, each with a knack for doing the impossible.
