4.5

I’ve read 6 or 7 of Ambler’s novels now. I wouldn’t say this was the best despite being the most famous, along with Journey into Fear, but it’s still a top rate thriller. It’s a bit too detached initially but soon you’re in familiar Ambler territory - a man out of his depth in an unfamiliar underworld.Great characters, sharp dialogue and typical, paranoid Ambler atmosphere.

Ambler has become one of my favourite authors in recent years. I intend to read more.
