A picture of my Cold War novel, Banshee, next to a Vulcan bomber soaring through the air. The text is an endorsement by crime novelist Fiona Veitch Smith which says “A sophisticated Cold War mystery with fine attention to historical detail. Rumbold knows the world of aviation and it shows. Highly recommended.”
