is an excellent resource on this author.
To help keep the novels and the adventure strip collections separate, here's some info about the Modesty Blaise works.
In 1963, O'Donnell began his 38-year run as writer of the Modesty Blaise adventure story strip, which appeared six days a week in English and Scottish newspapers. He retired the strip in 2001.
Each strip story took 18-20 weeks to complete. Several publishers over the years have attempted to collect these stories in large softcovers. Titan Publishing is currently in the process of bringing them all out in large-format softcover, with 2-3 stories in each books. These are called "graphic novels" in the Goodreads title.
Meanwhile, during those 38 years, O'Donnell also wrote 13 books about Modesty Blaise: 11 novels and 2 short story/novella collections. These stories are not related to the strip stories; they are not novelizations of strip stories. They are entirely new, though the characters and "lives" are the same. These have been labeled "series #0".
There is a large article on Peter O'Donnell on Wikipedia, with a complete bibliography.

The
Inca Trail
got used as a communication system for the Incas to run from one place to another in the humongous Inca Empire which stretched from southern Colombia to the north of Argentina. There are different Inca trails to hike, but this one is the most famous Inca trail and it will take you from Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, through beautiful landscapes and different archaeological Inca sites.

Modesty is “The Reluctant Chaperon” of a teen girl who gets kidnapped in Maltese mob wars, is the best looking Maid Marion EVER while retrieving heist $$$$ in an English castle in “The Greenwood Maid”, is one of “Those About to Die” in a gladiatorial arena in a batshit scheme of a rich dude for his last party, and saves some kidnapped children of El Predisdente on “The Inca Trail” Helped by a donkey in the last one, and Willie, in all, of course.

All Modesty Blaise books are good, and all Modesty Blaise comics are good. Because they're about Modesty Blaise.
