Complot a geneve

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.

La croisière de l'angoisse: roman

Pour Greg et Dorothée, en mal d'aventures, la croisière s'éternise à bord du Silver Isle qui dessert la ligne San Francisco-Calcutta. Si, au moins, on était libre de choisir ses compagnons de voyage ! A moins qu'une rencontre "fortuite" (l'est-elle vrai-ment ?) à l'escale de Hong-Kong ne vienne rompre la monotonie...Mais quand deux honnêtes touristes américains s'improvisent trafiquants d'armes, ils pourraient bien se retrouver au coeur d'une révolution. En Indonésie, par exemple.

Les Trafiquants d'armes

Topkapi

L'ennemi Commun

The Light of Day was the basis for Jules Dassin’s classic film, Topkapi.When Arthur Abdel Simpson first spots Harper in the Athens airport, he recognizes him as a tourist unfamiliar with city and in need of a private driver. In other words, the perfect mark for Simpson’s brand of entrepreneurship. But Harper proves to be more the spider than the fly when he catches Simpson riffling his wallet for traveler’s checks. Soon Simpson finds himself blackmailed into driving a suspicious car across the Turkish border. Then, when he is caught again, this time by the police, he faces a choice: cooperate with the Turks and spy on his erstwhile colleagues or end up in one of Turkey’s notorious prisons. The authorities suspect an attempted coup, but Harper and his gang of international jewel thieves have planned something both less sinister and much, much more audacious.
