The World of Tim Frazer, shown under the banner 'Francis Durbridge Presents...', was the longest-running BBC serial of the early 1960s and one of the most successful. The popularity of the TV programmes inspired Francis Durbridge to write several novels featuring the easygoing engineer-turned-spy Tim Frazer.
In this one, read by Buffy and Little Britain star Anthony Head, Frazer becomes involved in a world of danger, murder, and intrigue. When he visits the fishing village of Henton to meet his friend and ex-business-partner Harry Denston, Frazer is caught up in a series of mysterious events. A Russian sailor dies in a local inn after uttering the word 'Anya'. Among his belongings is a receipt from a Marble Arch garage - but Anstrov was never in London. On top of all that, Denston disappears. Then Frazer receives a call from a certain Mr Ross, who has a startling proposition to put to him. Ross is in charge of a secret government department and wants to offer Frazer a job. His mission: find Harry Denston....
From the creator of popular radio detective Paul Temple comes this exciting adventure featuring undercover agent Tim Frazer, read by Anthony Head.

"this was a great summer read, esp on a beach. Enjoyed this book immensely from start to finish with its fast moving plot. I bought this book on sale on a whelm from a bookstore closing down. Glad I took a chance and will further explore the wonderful world of Tim Frazer."
