In all three works Miss MacInnes is at the top of her form as a novelist who, with consummate literary grace, blends action, the magical evocation of place, and acute insights into contemporary history. From the dust jacket:Three outstanding works by Helen MacInnes, brilliant practitioner of suspense novels that deal with contemporary history, are here brought together in one exciting volume. Above Suspicion: which first appeared in July 1941, won immediate praise as more than just a splendidly literate thriller. This tale of an Oxford don and his wife, who, in the days of Hitler's ascendancy just before World War II, are swept out of their quiet life by a perilous mission that ends at Brenner Pass is one of the most widely read novels of our time and has assumed the status of a classic in its genre. North from Rome: transports the reader to postwar Italy, and spins a breathtaking tale in which a young American playwright, the American girl to whom he has been engaged, and an Italian count as handsome as he is disquieting about a worldwide narcotics ring. The book was a critical and popular triumph in 1958. Equally successful was The Double Image: first published in 1966, which races from Paris through Athens to the sunlit Aegean island of Mykonos. Two young Americans, John Craig and Virginia Clark, play the leading roles in a drama having to do with a Nazi long supposed dead an insidious figure from Russia's secret GRU, and French, British, and Greek intelligence agents. In all three works Miss MacInnes is at the top of her form as a novelist who, with consummate literary grace, blends action, the magical evocation of place, and acute insights into contemporary history. The result is the kind of fiction uniquely her own - and a compelling and richly rewarding adventure in reading. Please see photos for questions of condition.
