An early thriller, spy story, man on the run. Quaint story by today's standards, but still entertaining.

It was definitely an interesting read, though not what I would have picked up on my own. I loved the sense of transportation it conveyed, though. The dialogue, especially, made me think of old tough-guy black and white films. There were some moments where it dragged, but it was definitely a quick and worthwhile read, and it was interesting to page through one of the first "shockers" (thriller-genre) stories. It reminded me a bit of Bond, though that was probably just the spy aspect of it.
