While on holiday in Sweden, Tommy Hambledon becomes involved in an abduction, a mysterious packet, a dying message, and murder. It all starts when he notices some suspicious-looking Middle Europeans following a German about the city, and, being Tommy, he thrusts himself into an adventure that takes him to Paris, Rotterdam, rural France, a Spanish prison, and finally the Canary Islands, where all is revealed to him. He has daringly gone undercover as himself since everybody believes him to be another person, and he is assisted by James Hyde and Forgan and Campbell, whom the reader will remember from With Intent to Deceive. With the war over, Tommy has a new crop of Communist villains to deal with, as well as plenty of leftover Nazis who refuse to accept that the Third Reich is dead. First published in 1947.
