The Snow Tiger is a fast-paced Cold War–era thriller by acclaimed British suspense writer Desmond Bagley, best known for blending meticulous technical detail with high-stakes adventure.
 
Set against the icy, remote landscapes of Iceland, the novel follows journalist Alan Stewart, who is drawn into a dangerous investigation involving espionage, sabotage, and a mysterious experimental aircraft known as the “Snow Tiger.”
 
Bagley’s hallmark style is on full display: taut plotting, credible engineering detail, and a lone, resourceful protagonist navigating both hostile terrain and human threat. The stark Nordic setting adds an atmospheric edge, making this one of Bagley’s most distinctive later novels and a favourite among thriller collectors.
 
Confirmed First Edition, first published 1975, Original Collins hardcover issue.
One of Bagley’s final novels (he died in 1983), adding to long-term collectability.
