Drover and the zebras

Drover and the Zebras is part of the long-running Drover series authored by Bill Granger. Published in 1992 by Thorndike Press, this specific edition serves as a large-print library binding, reflecting the publisher's commitment to accessibility for readers with visual impairments. The series itself, centered on the character of the November Man, is a notable entry in the late twentieth-century spy thriller genre, characterized by Granger's intricate plotting and a gritty, atmospheric depiction of the geopolitical tensions of the Cold War era.

Granger, a former journalist, brought a cynical, sharp-edged realism to the espionage genre that earned him critical respect among aficionados of hard-boiled thrillers. His prose style is noted for its economy and complex character development, often placing his protagonists in morally ambiguous situations that reflect the shifting global landscape of the period. This particular title is representative of the later years of his career, during which he maintained a loyal following for his ability to craft tight, high-stakes narratives that stood out within a crowded market of contemporary suspense fiction.
