It's the late 1930s (1938?), and English narrator Marlow has just lost his job as a factory production manager. Eager for employment (he is engaged to be married), he applies for and accepts an unlikely position: to serve as the Milan representative of an English armaments manufacturer. Having just entered into the Axis alliance with Nazi Germany, Italy is a hotbed of espionage, and Marlow, because of his access to Italian weapons factories, immediately attracts the attentions of various spies as well as the Italian secret police. Marlow is a likeable narrator and a competent engineer, but he doesn't know the first thing about spycraft, and he's prone to impulsive decisions as well, so he soon gets himself into some trouble. As the plot thickens and the tension builds, we worry that Marlow may meet the same fate as his predecessor, who was the victim of a vehicular manslaughter (which we see in a brief prologue). Typical of Ambler, this book has engaging and memorable characters and a vivid setting, and the pacing carries us along quickly -- at times, pulse-poundingly. But overall it falls one star short of perfect because it relies too heavily on dialogue: too much of the story is related to us through conversations between characters, too little actually shown to us through action. But overall it is a very solid espionage tale set (and written) on the eve of World War II.
