Similar to the works of David Dodge and Leslie Charteris, Davide Mana’s The Corsair series moves along the same lines of an old television show called The Persuaders . Chock full of thrills and adventure, a drop of noir, and a little humor with a tough-as-nails hero that has all the savvy of a Travis McGee and suave demeanor of TV’s Lovejoy. He chats with the reader, outwits the bad guys, pulls in the beautiful ladies, and maybe make a buck or two while he’s at it. All set in the 1950s Mediterranean.
