Clive Egleton’s standalone novels make up the largest portion of his catalog, with 25 books published between 1973 and 2006. The range is considerable — from the taut Seven Days to a Killing and The October Plot in the 1970s through Cold War thrillers like Backfire and Double Griffin, to post-Cold War political intrigue in The Presidential Affair.
Several titles stand out across the decades. Escape to Athena (1979) was adapted into a film. The Mills Bomb, Skirmish, and State Visit (all 1977-1978) show Egleton at his most prolific. Later works like Gone Missing, In the Red, and China Gold carried his storytelling into the 1990s, while A Dying Fall and The Loner rounded out his career in the 2000s.
