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.

When Arthur Abdel Simpson first spots Harper in the Athens airport, he recognizes him as a tourist unfamiliar with city and in need of a private driver. In other words, the perfect mark for Simpson’s brand of entrepreneurship. But Harper proves to be more the spider than the fly when he catches Simpson riffling his wallet for traveler’s checks. Soon Simpson finds himself blackmailed into driving a suspicious car across the Turkish border. Then, when he is caught again, this time by the police, he faces a choice: cooperate with the Turks and spy on his erstwhile colleagues or end up in one of Turkey’s notorious prisons. The authorities suspect an attempted coup, but Harper and his gang of international jewel thieves have planned something both less sinister and much, much more audacious.

Book excerpt: From dust jacket notes: "If you are one of the hundreds of thousands who already know Eric Ambler's superb 'thrillers' - he hates the word himself, but there is no other convenient designation for these extraordinary tales of undercover plottings and spies at work - you will certainly want this book. If you have not yet read Ambler, you have been missing the man who is absolutely the best in his field. Because, as Alfred Hitchcock points out in his Introduction, Ambler writes first-rate, suspense-filled, exciting stories about entirely credible, decent, very human fellows in tough situations. They are filled with equally credible pictures of the suave political gangsters, disreputable big-business men, and riffraff of the cheap cafes who made life on the political fringes of continental Europe an unpleasant thing for decent fellows to stumble into during the 1930's. You can take Eric Ambler, if you wish, on several levels at once; and on every one of them he is tops ..."
