Poor Largo is beside himself with worry. The lovely Saidee, with whom he’s fallen madly in love, has vanished. In fact, she’s being held prisoner by a CIA agent who’d forced her to infiltrate a fundamentalist network hell-bent on blowing Winch up – but which is actually being manipulated by a Russian businessman... Phew. Nothing is ever simple with Largo! How is he supposed to save his love, keep his group going – while also staying alive, if at all possible?
Largo Winch was always one of my favourite Cinebook titles but I found this hard to get into and when I checked I realised volume 15 appeared in March...2015!
The artwork is still absolutely superb and there are some fantastic settings -nothing wrong with the story either but I think after a year-and-a-half I need to get back into the series to appreciate it more!
