ARMS FOR ADONIS
Winner of the 1954 Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Novel
Sarah Lane, abandoning her French lover for the brilliant Lebanese sunshine, believes that the day will belong to her alone. But when a street bomb hurls her into the arms of a dangerously handsome Syrian colonel, she finds herself trapped once again. Is this a kidnapping? A seduction? Or merely the chaos of the Middle-East?
"Charlotte Jay cannot write a dull or graceless sentence. The heroine of Arms for Adonis, Sarah Lane, is fascinatingly alive, and her convincing adventures have a background so vividly depicted that Lebanon itself becomes a protagonist in the novel." - New York Times
"Exciting action and brilliantly evocative description of a kind seldom encountered in a thriller. Arms for Adonis is well above average in every way." - British Book News
"Charlotte Jay's eye for the scene is sharp and so is her eye for the attitudes of human pretension. Wryly romantic and a keen delight." - New York Herald Tribune
