Author: William Haggard
Richard Clayton was a British civil servant who wrote spy novels under the pen name William Haggard. His 1958–1990 Col. Charles Russell series — The High Wire is the fifth title, preceded by Slow Burner, Venetian Blind, The Arena, and The Unquiet Sleep — was considered (by critics, not the general public) better than Ian Fleming's Bond novels.
