In this international thriller from the author of Epitaph for a Spy, a freelance writer is offered a deadly job he can’t refuse.
Robert Halliday is an ordinary writer-for-hire until he receives a bomb threat in the mail. When the bomb arrives as promised, it is accompanied by an offer of employment from international fixer Karliss Zander. Unless Halliday agrees to help him edit the memoirs of a nineteenth-century Russian terrorist, Zander will detonate the bomb.
Preferring not to test Zander’s resolve, Halliday takes the job. But he soon discovers his new employer requires more than his eye for grammar and punctuation. Tangled in an international web of danger, Halliday begins to wonder if he’d have been better off letting the bomb explode.

За автора
Eric Ambler began his writing career in the early 1930s and quickly established a reputation as a thriller writer of extraordinary depth and originality. He is often credited as the inventor of the modern political thriller and John Le Carré once described him as “the source on which we all draw.”
Ambler began his working life at an engineering firm and then as a copywriter at an advertising agency. In his spare time, he worked toward his dream of becoming a playwright. His first novel was published in 1936, he turned to writing full-time. During the war, he was seconded to the Army Film Unit where he wrote the screenplay for The Way Ahead with Peter Ustinov, among others.
