A Kind of Anger by Eric Ambler
A car hurtles down the driveway of a luxury villa in Switzerland. The driver is a young woman, Lucia Bernardi. Inside the house, police find the body of her lover on the bedroom floor. The dead man - Ahmed Fathir Arbil - was an Iraqi refugee, who has been tortured and killed. Lucia vanishes into hiding in the South of France.Piet Maas, a journalist for the World Reporter, sets out on Lucia's trail, hoping for a scoop. Soon he must decide whether to publish his story - which will lead to Lucia's exposure and almost certain death - or join her in executing a perilous scheme that could net them both a fortune.
'A thriller of the highest quality-ironic, witty, literate, ingenious, understated and unflaggingly suspenseful' - New York Times Book Review; 'Unquestionably our best thriller writer ever' - Graham Greene; 'Ambler towers over most of his newer imitators' - Los Angeles Times

Ambler was described by John Le Carre as 'the source on which we all draw'. He was also an Oscar-nominated Hollywood scriptwriter.
