About the Author:
'As long as meticulous craftsmanship and honest entertainment are valued, and as long as action, authenticity, and expertise still make up the strong framework of the good adventure/thriller, Desmond Bagley's books will surely be read.' REGINALD HILL, Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers
'Bagley is a master storyteller.' DAILY MIRROR
'Mr Bagley has no equal at this sort of thing.' SUNDAY MIRROR
‘Tense, heroic, chastening... a thumping good story.’ SUNDAY EXPRESS
Desmond Bagley’s transition from unskilled printer’s apprentice, aircraft engineer, miner, nightclub photographer and radio scriptwriter to one of the world’s most respected thriller writers is legendary. Travelling to almost every continent to research his exotic storylines, he was described by The Times as a ‘craftsmanlike thriller novelist’, whose stories are as exciting today as when they were first published.

First published by William Collins, this edition was published with a special arrangement with William Collins. The dust jacket has some rough edges but has protected the books hard cover, Page edges are discoloured due to paper quality, signs of shel wear but minor.## ## A small mining community in New Zealand discovers the grim truth of this statement when 'the snow tiger' in the form of an avalanche rips apart and destroys their entire township in minutes. ## # In the ensuing court of inquiry into the disaster, all the antagonisms and fears within the community are laid bare, and the ruthless behind-the-scenes battle for control of a multi-million-pound international mining group is exposed. The tension in the courtroom mounts as each survivor gives his definitive account of the terrifying sequence of events ? some of them manufactured ? which spelt disaster. # # Desmond Bagley neatly brings each strand of history to its brilliant climax and the novel to an unexpected but satisfying end. # # Snow is not a wolf in sheep's clothing; it is a tiger in lamb's clothing: Matthias Zdarsky. Pioneer in avalanche studies.# THE SNOW TIGER is one of his most compelling and accomplished stories.# ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.
