The Whip Hand Mystery Paperback Book by Victor Canning from Signet Books 1966
(Rex Carver #1)

Meet Rex Carver, the suave and laconic private investigator. 

His job is to track down a German au pair , Katerina Saxmann, who has gone missing in Brighton. 

But when the security services show up at his apartment within hours of him accepting the assignment, he realizes there is far more going on. 

As the search leads Carver around the pleasure spots of Europe, the investigation, and his feelings for Katerina, get more complicated. 

But when a specter from the continent’s past rears its head, Rex discovers he might be in too deep . . .
