The young mistress

"Deceit, danger, desire! The dark underworld of espionage and crime is lit up by the fatal charms of the gorgeous Modesty Blaise--high priestess of pulp crime and goddess of cult thrillers! An art forgery spells trouble in 'The Young Mistress', while 'Our Friend Maude' sees the return of secret agent Maude Tiller and pits Modesty against a band of arms dealers, against the backdrop of the deadly Paris underworld! In 'Ivory Dancer' a stolen horse means money and menace for our unflappable heroine. This volume also contains story introductions by Modesty Blaise expert Lawrence Blackmore"--Page 4 of cover.
