I enjoyed this story and the intrigue it presented. Ambler presented the reader with scenarios that could be interpreted in a number of different ways. This maintained the suspense as you were never quite sure who the good guys were and which good guys were actually bad guys. There were enough good-guy groups that the reader has a number of different good guy groups to wonder about, as well as individuals in those groups who could be doing a bad guy solo-run. This kept the suspense going to the climax.

The story contains many elements of any thriller about the aftermath of WWII, displaced persons, war criminals, missing valuables, Red-cross medical missions, people possessing several identities, agents on secret missions, etc... It also contains people trying to get back into a "normal" way of life after the disruption of the World War.

Would I read another book by this author?
Yes. So far I have read eleven novels by Eric Ambler, the last two, Skytip an Tender to Danger were originally published as written by Elliot Reed and Charles Rodda.

Would I recommend this book?
Yes.

Who would I recommend it to?
Anyone who likes old black and white spy/crime movies.
