Rex Carver

Rex Carver

Rex Carver is a fictional British private eye created by the prolific thriller writer Victor Canning. He appeared in 4 fast-paced, irreverently narrated novels in the 1960s.They were The Whip Hand(1965),Doubled in Diamonds (1966), The Melting Man (1968) and The Python Project(1967). Although a private eye by profession, Carver knows a number of people who work for a shadowy British undercover agency and he frequently becomes involved with both enemy agents and semi-hostile British agents during his adventures. It is by no means a stretch to call these books spy thrillers or to consider Carver himself a secret agent of sorts.
