Web of Murder (1958) Harry Whittington "Whittington does some of the last sheer storytelling since the greatest days of the detective pulps."	The Galton Case (1959) (Lew Archer, book 8) Ross MacDonald "Exciting, beautifully plotted, and written with taste, perception and compassion."	Undertow (1962) (Johnny Fedora Espionage Assignment) Desmond Cory "For my money, Johnny Fedora, professional killer for British Intelligence, more than deserves to take over James Bond's avid audience."

The Light of the Day (1962) (Arthur Abdel Simpson) Eric Ambler "Arthur Abdel Simpson . . . is one of fiction's most delightful rogues, and his adventures provide the best Ambler entertainment in years."
