The Crown series is a short-lived spy thriller trilogy set in Asia. Published between 1974 and 1975, these three novels take place in exotic locations and follow a more espionage-oriented storyline than Harknett’s westerns.
The Sweet and Sour Kill, Macao Mayhem, and Bamboo Shoot-Out were published during Harknett’s most productive period, when he was simultaneously writing multiple series across different genres under various pen names.
