Riassunto

Michael Howell lives the good life in Syria, just three years after the Six-Day War. He has several highly profitable business interests and an Italian office manager who is also his mistress. However, the discovery that his factories are being used as a base by the Palestine Action Force changes everything—he is in extreme danger with nowhere to run.

The foremost thriller writer of our time --Sunday Times

L'autore:

Eric Ambler was born into a family of entertainers and in his early years helped out as a puppeteer. In World War II he entered the army and was soon after commissioned and ended the war as assistant director of the army film unit and a lieutenant-colonel. In civilian life, Ambler had a very successful career as a screenwriter, receiving an Academy Award for his work on The Cruel Sea by Nicolas Monsarrat in 1953. Many of his own works have been filmed, the most famous probably being Topkapi. He established a reputation as a thriller writer of extraordinary depth and originality and received many accolades during his lifetime, including two Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America (best novel for Topkapi and best biographical work for Here Lies Eric Ambler), and two Gold Dagger Awards from the Crime Writer’s Association (Passage of Arms and The Levanter).
