Editorial Reviews
Review
It is some story, framing the rich and restless life of an enigmatic man, part-international play-boy and part homespun local businessman. — Mark Hodkinson, The Times
Peter Adolph was a James Bond-like figure, a hard-drinking womansier with a penchant for fast British sports cars. —
Andrew Baker, Daily TelegraphThe story of the game is fascinating, particularly as Adolph, a serial womaniser and heavy drinker, seems to have a remarkable knack for getting into scrapes, once being challenged to a duel after some ill-advised flirting at a trade fair in Belgium. … there is a great story here, and some moments of high comedy. —
