About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

It is 1940 and Mr Graham, a quietly-spoken engineer and arms expert, has just finished high-level talks with the Turkish government. And now somebody wants him dead. The previous night three shots were fired at him as he stepped into his hotel room, so, terrified, he escapes in secret on a passenger steamer from Istanbul. As he journeys home - alongside, among others, an entrancing French dancer, an unkempt trader, a mysterious German doctor and a small, brutal man in a crumpled suit - he enters a nightmarish world where friend and foe are indistinguishable. Graham can try to run, but he may not be able to hide for much longer ...

If only Audible had more Eric Ambler books available to listen to! This was such a gripping story which I didn't want to end. Ambler at his best! I highly recommend it for anyone who likes suspense, espionage, murder all while crossing international borders! 10/10!

A suspenseful, masterfully told story
