The Collier Spymasters series shows Richard Llewellyn working in a genre far from the Welsh valleys. Six Cold War espionage novels, published between 1968 and 1983, follow intelligence operatives through the shadows of international intrigue.
The End of the Rug (1968) and But We Didn’t Get the Fox (1969) established the series, with White Horse to Banbury Cross, The Night is a Child, For Reasons Of State, and The Faustian Pact following over the next fifteen years. The series carried Llewellyn’s literary polish into spy fiction territory.
