Helen Clark MacInnes Knihy

Napínavý příběh prvních dnů 2. svět. války. Čtenář s napětím sleduje líčení dramatického příchodu špiona do rodiny, do prostředí malé bretaňské vesničky, kde má vystupovat jako jeden její obyvatel, zajatý v Anglii. Díky veliké podobě obou se mu podaří oklamat vesničany i přátele, jen matka a milenka sedláka, jehož místo zaujímá, prohlédnou jeho přestrojení. Přesto se však stanou jeho spojenkyněmi a spolubojovnicemi, když v něm najdou stejného antifašistu jako jsou samy. Kniha je po literární stránce místy poněkud naivní, je však psána s velkou dávkou osobního prožitku.

Where, he wondered suddenly, would Venice lead?

Just another routine overseas assignment. That's what successful young New York architect Ken Strang thought when a national travel magazine sent him to Europe to sketch Greek ruins.
