  12. The Ambushers, published in 1963, Donald Hamilton’s sixth Matt Helm spy thriller. Helm has to assassinate a rebel leader and rescue an American agent. Lots of double-crosses and moral murkiness and some scores to settle. Superb spy fiction.

  17. Philip Atlee's The Irish Beauty Contract is a routine 1966 Joe Gall spy novel. Embittered ex-CIA man Joe Gall is now a US Government hitman. This time he has to watch someone but not kill him. The background is good but the book lacks energy.

  27. West of Jerusalem, from 1967, one of a handful of Gérard de Villiers Malko spy novels translated into English. Austrian prince and CIA agent Malko has to impersonate the Director of the CIA who has jumped to his death. Fine action and suspense.

  32. Jimmy Sangster was a hugely successful screenwriter. His 1968 novel Touchfeather slots neatly into the “glamorous sexy lady spy” genre. A glamorous airline stewardess is really a spy. Cynical, and has some real punch. A great sexy spy thriller.

  41. The Dragon’s Eye is a 1969 spy novel by Scott C.S. Stone. A reporter is forced to aid the defection of a high Chinese official. Makes good use of exotic settings. Captures the severely paranoid flavour of the Cold War. A good pulp spy thriller.
