Dorothy Dunnett published a series of thrillers featuring portrait painter and spy Johnson Johnson and his yacht Dolly under her maiden name Dorothy Halliday (although her marriage to Sir Alastair Dunnett predated the first Johnson Johnson book by 22 years). This, the first edition of the third book in the series, was published in America as Match For A Murderer and was later reprinted as Operation Nassau under her married name.
