A Coffin for Dimitrios (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)

by Eric Ambler

A Coffin for Dimitrios (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A chance encounter with a Turkish colonel with a penchant for British crime novels leads Charles Latimer, himself the author of a handful of successful mysteries, into a world of sinister political and criminal maneuvers throughout the Balkans in the years between the world wars. At first merely curious to reconstruct the career of the notorious Dimitrios, whose body has been identified in an Istanbul morgue, Latimer soon finds himself caught up in a shadowy web of assassination, espionage, drugs, and treachery.

Review:

"A crackerjack spy story, jammed with action, intrigue and thrills" Saturday Review

Review:

"Anyone who hasn't read Ambler is in for a real treat." The Washington Post Book World
