While carrying out research in Paris, American historian John Craig is surprised when he runs into his old college professor. Sussman is a worried man. A survivor of Auschwitz, he in shock, having seen and been seen by one of the Nazis who tortured him in the camp. But SS Colonel Berg has been dead for ten years or has he? Before Craig can help solve the riddle, Sussman is found dead and Craig is being questioned by the police. As various international organisations are drawn into the hunt for Sussmans killer, he realises that the ex-Nazi is far more than just a wanted war criminal. Soon Craigs search for the truth takes him from Paris to the island of Mykonos, where he must unmask a dangerous and powerful foe.

I picked this up on a charity stall, + it proved to be a cracking spy story that had me hooked to the last page. When John Craig, a yng American, bumps into a former professor in Paris, he hears a story of a nazi camp officer who everyone believed dead appearing on the same streets. When the pr is found dead, Craig is drawn into the hunt for a nazi who spied for Russia. Intricate plotting stands shoulder to shoulder with le carre, a joy of a find.

Another treasure found wandering through my bookshelves with all this extra time at home. Love the covers from the 1960s!
