An espionage novel set in French Canada at the beginning of World War II. Clement R. Hoopes was an author and former State Department administrator. Mr. Hoopes's works included three novels. One, "Angry Dust," published by Devin Adair in 1967, was a blood and thunder tale of politics and espionage. He also wrote magazine articles and television scripts. Mr. Hoopes was director of national development for the American Shakespeare Festival Theater and Academy at Stratford, Conn., in the 1960's, and helped organize the Shakespeare 400th birthday committee for the 1964 celebration. A former member of the United States Information Agency, he was also associated with Time Inc., the Washington Historical Waxworks Museum, the publishing concerns of Harper & Brothers and Devin Adair, and the Marshall Plan mission to Ireland. From the author of Angry Dust and Frolic of His Own comes the suspenseful tale of David Blackburn, diplomat for Canadian External Affairs, who becomes involved in a dangerous mission as courier for P. M. Mackenzie King.
