Pieces Of Modesty




''Pieces of Modesty'' is a Short Story collection by Peter O'Donnell featuring his Secret Agent heroine, Modesty Blaise , first published in 1972 . It was O'Donnell's first such collection of stories (he would publish a second, '' Cobra Trap '' decades later).

The stories featured in this collection are:

#"A Better Way to Die"
#"The Giggle-Wrecker"
#"I Had a Date With Lady Janet"
#"A Perfect Night to Break Your Neck"
#"Salamander Four"
#"The Soo Girl Charity"

Elements from some of these stories would appear in the ''Modesty Blaise'' Comic Strip which O'Donnell wrote concurrent with his book series. "I Had a Date With Lady Janet" is distinguished as the only Modesty Blaise tale to be told in the First Person by Modesty's right-hand man, Willie Garvin.
