Epitaph for a spy

In JUDGMENT ON DELTCHEV, a young British playwrite, Foster, is asked to cover the trial of Yordan Deltchev, seemingly a victim of a Soviet frameup."It soon becomes clear that things are infinitely more complicated than that. In the course of his investigations, Foster discovers a dead body in a tenement room, is attacked in a dark street by two hired thugs, gets mixed up with an assortment of people of sinister behavior and cryptic party affiliations, and in the end, witnesses a shocking assassination." (The New Yorker)

L'affaire Deltchev

Returning to his hotel room after a late-night flirtation with a cabaret dancer at an Istanbul boîte, Graham is surprised by an intruder with a gun. What follows is a nightmare of intrigue for the English armaments engineer as he makes his way home aboard an Italian freighter. Among the passengers are a couple of Nazi assassins intent on preventing his returning to England with plans for a Turkish defense system, the seductive cabaret dancer and her manager husband, and a number of surprising allies. Thrilling, intense, and masterfully plotted, Journey Into Fear is a classic suspense tale from one of the founders of the genre.

Il faut admettre que ses interventions intempestives sont généralement parfaitement justifiées. Publiées dans une revue anglaise en Juillet et Août 1940, reprises après la guerre dans des versions amputées d'un tiers par Ellery  Queen's Mystery Magazine, puis dans son édition française, Mystère Magazine, les six histoires qui constituent les Instrusions du Dr Czissar ont été réunies par Eric Ambler dans son dernier livre paru en 1993 et sont données ici pour la première fois dans des traductions intégrales.
