Work detailsThe Key to Rebecca by Ken Follett
This is a 1980 novel, Follett's third, publshed after Eye of the Needle and I thought rather creaky and extremely unsophisticated. There is this evil Nazi spy stealing information from a dopey British officer and being chased by a smart British officer who is hobbled by a dumb superior. All the characters are avid for sex, eespecailly the spy and the dopey British officer whose secrets are stolen by the spy and radioed in code to Rommell. There is a truly exciting chase as the book ends. Not as good as Eye of the Needle and full of unlikely events.

Although, there were some very kinky parts to the story...the last 50 pages had me up late last night just so I could finish. (  ) wendytrim | Apr 1, 2011 | I was quite impressed and pleasantly surprised with this, my first Ken Follett novel. Now I'm interested in his other works. ( ) CynDaVaz | Dec 30, 2010 | Read it. My favourite sort of Follett. Its so nice of the Nazis to provide us with a perpetual villan.
