Desmond Bagley is a thriller writer very much in the Alistair MacLean mould although he is not quite as good as MacLean at his best. THE VIVERO LETTER was Bagley’s 5th thriller, published in 1968.

There's a search for treasure, and a lost Mayan city. As usual Bagley makes good use of an unusual setting.

Plenty of atmosphere and high-octane excitement.
