4.0 out of 5 stars Old Fashioned Page Turner, 28 May 2009
By Colin C "Colin C" (Glasgow) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I read this book on holiday and found it to be a very enjoyable adventure yarn and a genuine page turner. It seems old fashioned today, without any explicit sex, violence or even bad language. Written in 1939 in a simple, straightforward style, its charms lie in a strong, honourable central character who wishes simply to unravel a mystery to satisfy his own curiosity - did the well known criminal and racketeer Dimitrios really die or is he still at large? His investigations take him across Europe from Istanbul to Switzerland, and the reader stays hooked throughout.

This is not a particularly deep or philosophical book but is ideal holiday reading and an expertly written example of its genre. Lots of fun.
