At Swords' Points | 
pick(1954) Third and last in Norton's series of thrillers featuring Dutch gem merchant Lorens van Norreys, though in this one Norreys has only a small part. Instead, we follow Quinn Anders, a reserved historian whose brother is killed while searching for a treasure that went missing in WWII. Anders picks up where his brother left off, and adventure ensues. It's great fun, and reminds me of Eric Ambler's everyman-in-over-his-head thrillers.
