Book Overview

"Cerebral twists and sophisticated wit." -Time Criminologist Frits Krom secures an interview with Paul Firm, the director of an ostensibly legitimate international investment firm who is in fact an expert in tax avoidance. It soon becomes evident that the host and his guests are under siege by a third party, one whose motives and violent intentions are unclear. If they are to survive, the criminal and the criminologist will have to work together. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Send no more roses

Eric Ambler, like Graham Green or Summerset Maugham provide much more then a mystery story: their work is well written, assumes an intelligent reader and has plenty of philosophy or "background" that is interesting and worthwhile. Ambler's use of "tradecraft" is similiar to Jorn LeCarre's, "Soldier, Tailor Tinker Spy".Ambler has written about twelve books, all available in used form, and all concerning espionage. "Send no more roses" makes the reader a willing confidant and one is able to compare the action of the hero with what he might do in similiar circumstances.A very enjoyable experience: you'll want to read "A Coffin for Demetris" and some of his other novels too.
