About this listen

While on assignment in Paris and Venice, an American journalist works desperately to expose communist espionage activities.

Fenner burned Rosenfeld’s message, reminding himself wryly that he was behaving in the very best tradition. This was a game not too difficult to learn, he thought. A game? A game in deadly earnest. A vacation in Venice that was grim business. A girl constantly beside him who wasn’t his. How the hell had he walked into this upside-down world? Where, he wondered suddenly, would Venice lead?

Gripping thriller rings true

MacInnes name belongs beside John Le Carre and Graham Greene and it's more than a shame that many of her books are out of print.

Exciting story, very poor narration

Helen McInnes’ stories always have some drama and intricate plotting. This one was not improved by the narration, which was harsh, monologue, and made it difficult to distinguish between characters.
