looking for book, help google masters Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

It's a book written a few decades ago. Adventure. About a man who tries to kill a dictator (implicity Hitler, but not specified). Book starts with the man having been caught and hung from his fingers on a cliff and then falling. He escapes (hides from agents in England). There is a gruesome part with a cat being stuffed into his hidey holes ventilation shaft. Then he invents a cross bow and kills the man.

Tired of ads?

I knew a Brit would know it. Pretty gripping story, no?

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I've never seen the movie, but my Dad had and liked the movie ending better. It has the guy getting on an airplane with a rifle...

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Never seen the movie. The book's a cracker, though. Talk about "101 uses for a dead cat"....

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Do you like British adventure novels? I read a much slower paced one, but very enjoyable called THE RIDDLE OF THE SANDS, while I was laid up with my knee. I'm also into Josephine Tey. And Lewis and Rowling.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

"The riddle of the sands" is another good one, but I think a lot of those early British ones haven't aged well. I'm more into the 60's and 70's thrillers, particularly Desmond Bagley.
