Summary: Flavor of the times..
Review: I bought one of MacInnes' spy thrillers in a small drug store in Kentucky during Christmas vacation in the late sixties and then read them all. For a grad student locked into classroom and homework, it was perfect escapism, a way to travel to exotic places like old Europe and experience the flavor of the WWII era without getting hurt. After MacInnes, nothing else in the mystery category satisfied me, until I accidentally discovered Donna Leon's Inspector Brunetti and his interesting wife...

Summary: Worth reading!
Review: This is a really good novel, full of suspense. A tale of espionage, this is about the search for an old chest full of nazi documents. With agents from all sides trying to get to it, a lot of dead bodies turn up. Written some years ago, this is worth reading, with an unexpected, everyman hero.
