The ninth novel by this author whom Graham Greene called "our greatest thriller writer" - and who is credited with creating the modern thriller, and in introducing a new realism to the espionage novel. As is many of his best books, the main character in this novel is an ordinary person who finds himself in an extraordinary - and dangerous - situation.
