Inside
Job Beautiful
Suzy, brings an attractive gigola, Larry, back to her exotic Spanish
villa. He thinks the action is to take place in the bedroom, but what
Suzy really wants is for Larry to rob her husband's safe and split the
proceeds with her to finance her escape from an unsatisfactory marriage.
He agrees and a plot is hatched. But Alex, the husband, turns up at
the wrong moment and in no time at all they are up to their necks in
intricate murder plots involving diamonds, terrorists and bombs. Brian
Clemens, creator of such celebrated TV series as THE AVENGERS and THE
PROFESSIONALS, has written an ingenious thriller full of twists and
turns and double-crossings galore that will have you poised on the edge
of your seats until the last startling moment.
