## Resource

The long-running "Assignment" spy fiction series by Edward S Aarons showcases CIA operative Sam Durell in a range of pulpy, Cold War adventures. "Sorrento Siren", its 17th installment, sends Durell to Naples where he races against the clock to locate some stolen art and a rogue, murderous agent with ties to a libidinous Italian Countess. What's worse, his communist counterpart is travelling a parallel path. And if that weren't adventure enough, there's also ancient ruins among an active volcano and warring Italian families to negotiate! The stakes couldn't be higher as LTP takes its first look at this enduring offshoot of genre spy fiction. Shouts to Nick Anderson (https://linktr.ee/thebookgraveyard77) for the recommendation and Paperback Warrior (https://www.paperbackwarrior.com/) for more information on the author and series.
