'From the bottom of the stairwell Malcolm could only see that the
room appeared to be empty. Mrs Russell wasn't at her desk. Out of
the corner of his eye he noticed that Dr. Lappe's door was
partially open. There was a peculiar odour in the room . Malcolm
tossed the sandwich bags on top of Walter's desk and slowly mounted
the stairs. 'He found the sources of the odour. As usual, Mrs
Russell had been standing behind her desk when they entered. The
blast from the machine gun in the mailman's pouch had knocked her
almost as far back as the coffee-pot. Her cigarette had dropped on
her neck, singeing her flesh until the last millimetre of tobacco
and paper had oxidized. A strange dullness came over Malcolm as he
stared at the huddled flesh in the pool of blood. An automaton, he
slowly turned and walked into Dr Lappe's office.' When Malcolm
discovers his CIA colleagues butchered in the blood-spattered
office he realises that only an oversight by the assassins has
saved his life. He contacts CIA headquarters for help but when an
attempted rendezvous goes badly wrong he realises that no-one can
be trusted. Code-named Condor, Malcolm disappears into the streets
of Washington, hoping to evade the killers long enough to unravel
the conspiracy - but will that be enough to save his life? First
published in 1974, Six Days of the Condor became an instant classic
conspiracy theory thriller. This brand new edition includes an new
introduction by James Grady giving details of the circumstances
that led to him originally writing the book, what happened
subsequently and how he was approached by Hollywood a few years ago
to help with a remake - a remake that never happened. Also included
for the first time in print along with the original is the 50 page
treatment that Grady produced for that missing movie - a treatment
that Grady refers to as a reimagining, entitled condor.net
