About this listen

It was 1953, and nothing could shake William Denning’s resolve to leave the army and return to the States. Nothing, except one of the largest diamond hauls ever—which, in the wrong hands, on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain, was a potentially lethal force.

In a small village in the Swiss mountains, Denning discovered that there was not only a jewelry robbery at stake. In the ruthless world of espionage and international conspiracy, his adversaries were the most unlikely people—and the most dangerous.

This is a very enjoyable novel, published in 1955. It is like watching a Hitchcock thriller. The story is set in Switzerland, with fascinating detail of the locality. The narrator has a lovely voice; he expertly performs all the voices – both male and female – and sound quality is also excellent. You can imagine Hollywood greats in all the key roles – perhaps Grace Kelly as Paula, Audrey Hepburn as Francesca, Cary Grant as Bill, James Stewart as Andy. This author wrote powerful novels without sex, without violence, without bad language, and she had in-depth knowledge of espionage.

Excellent – like a Hitchcock thriller

Apart from some of the characters' annoying views about the fragility & incompetence of women (it was based in the 1950s), this book is well worth a listen. Good narration & interesting plot. I do enjoy Helen McInnes' work.

Definitely worth a listen
