A taut Cold War espionage thriller, The By-Pass Control is the second instalment in Mickey Spillane's Tiger Mann series, pitting his hard-boiled counter-intelligence agent against a deadly Soviet plot on American soil. Tiger Mann, a no-nonsense operative working for the private intelligence firm Barrin Industries, uncovers a chilling enemy conspiracy centred on a mysterious weapon capable of mass destruction. Spillane writes with his trademark punchy, propulsive prose — short sentences, blistering action, and a hero who hits first and asks questions later. The novel chronicles Mann's race against time through a world of shadowy adversaries, femmes fatales, and Cold War paranoia, delivering the same raw, unapologetic energy that made Spillane one of the best-selling crime writers of the twentieth century.
