The unlikely hero of The Mask of Dimitrios returns in this “intriguing affair to remember” from the two-time Gold Dagger Award–winning author (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Eric Ambler first introduced the world to the historian and novelist Charles Latimer in his classic thriller The Mask of Dimitrios. Now Latimer is back, on assignment from his American publisher, to find out just how the once-frivolous international newspaper Intercom unleashed a major geopolitical scandal. For Theodore Carter—Intercom’s hapless, hard-drinking editor—everything changed when the journal was taken over by mysterious new owners. Whoever they are, they have access to classified information that they are determined to publish. Soon, agents from the world’s superpowers are circling, and as Latimer and Carter set about uncovering the source of the secrets, they find much more than their careers are on the line.

Kenton's career as a journalist depended on his facility with languages, his knowledge of European politics, and his quick judgment. Where his judgment sometimes failed him was in his personal life. When he finds himself on a train bound for Austria with insufficient funds after a bad night of gambling, he jumps at the chance to earn a fee to help a refugee smuggle securities across the border. He soon discovers that the documents he holds have a more than monetary value, and that European politics has more twists and turns than the most convoluted newspaper account.
