Spy & crime thrillers by Kenneth Benton

Craig Thrillers is devoted to the Cold-War-era spy, crime and thriller books written by the late British diplomat and MI6 officer Kenneth Benton (1909–1999), which are now available as ebooks. Peter Craig is a counterterrorism expert for the British government, and often a reluctant troubleshooter for the British and international security services; across seven novels, Craig's adventures pit him against KGB spies, terrorists, international criminals and double-agents around the world.

Kenneth began writing novels after retiring from MI6 in the 1960s. As well as the spy and mystery novels detailed here, he also wrote historical fiction. The literary estate hopes eventually to republish all of the novels as ebooks, but for the time being we are concentrating on the spy and suspense novels.

Peggie Benton also wrote several books beside Baltic Countdown, including One Man Against the Drylands, which details Padre Lira Parente's work in the drought-stricken regions of North-East Brazil, and Peterman, a fictional memoir from a career criminal.

The timeline below shows dates for the first editions of his spy and mystery thrillers, which were originally published by Collins, Macmillan, Chatto & Windus and Robert Hale.
We are also delighted to announce the publication of Vengeance in Venice, which comes from an unpublished manuscript, posthumously edited and published as an ebook edition in 2012.
