Now on Kindle: One of the interesting characters from 1960s Swinging London was author Adam Diment. He appeared on the scene with his first novel, Dolly Dolly Spy, in 1967. Publishers Weekly: "A kinky, cool mod flare that is outrageously entertaining….If you appreciate clever plotting, plenty of excitement, sex at its most uninhibited, a dollop or two of explicit sadism, Adam Diment is a name to remember." Diment wrote four novels about his alter-ego, Philip McAlpine, a hip spy with Diment's taste for fast cats, planes, girls, and chemical substances, before disappearing completely from public view in 1971. David Hemmings was cast to play McAlpine in a 1968 film adaptation of Dolly Dolly Spy, but the project apparently died during development. That same year, Hemmings, who resembled the author, made his two iconic films Barbarella and Blow Up. Collectible and difficult to track down, Diment's Dolly Dolly Spy novel is now available on Kindle here.
