J. K. Mayo: «Cry Havoc». Engelsk. Paperback

William Hugh Charles Watson (30 April 1931 – 5 December 2005) was a Scottish author, playwright and newspaper editor. He was initially Literary and then Features editor of the Scotsman newspaper. He commenced writing novels in 1969 with Better than One and then wrote two historical novels. The first, titled Beltran in Exile (1979) was about the Knights Templar after the end of the Crusades in Palestine.[3] The Knight on the Bridge (1982) is about the Cathars. These two latter books are generally regarded as his best works.

He wrote six spy thrillers under the nom-de-plume of J K Mayo between 1986 and 1997 using a middle-aged, irritable, Gauloise-smoking ex-army Colonel named Harry Seddall as his hero for these popular books. An interesting aside is his apparent enjoyment of using little-known and obscure words to enhance his excellent descriptions of places and intelligent conversations throughout the books.
