A fellow British spy has been murdered in Serbia by a guerrilla gang of underground royalists, the White Eagles - but when Methuen arrives, he soon finds himself in a life-and-death struggle, pursued by both the royalists and Communists alike.
Inspired by Lawrence Durrell's own experiences in the British Foreign Office, White Eagles Over Serbia is a classic Cold War espionage thriller: a white-knuckle adventure perfect for fans of John le Carre and Graham Greene.

What Readers Are Saying:
All spy-novel fans should read this wonderful mysterious portrayal of post-war Balkans. Read it now!
A very good espionage / thriller novel ... Fantastic descriptions of the post-war Yugoslav atmosphere ... Durrell could have given LeCarre some competition.
As a setting for adventure and intrigue, the mountains in post-WWII Serbia, are unparalleled.
A good old fashioned spy romp over the mountains.
A spy thriller very much in the British Boys Own style ... Superlative.
