Sent down to discover who was collecting and distributing the valuable information that was streaming out of there, Humphrey Neyland, counter-espionage agent, quickly tangles with as dangerous a collection of native and imported Nazis–not to mention red herrings–as you’d care to meet in a black-out. Of the many suspects, any one might be at least as dangerous as he seems, but Neyland could not afford to guess. Calling on brains, brawn, luck and impedance, he dodges and twists and bluffs, lays artful traps, laughs and fights his way out of a number of tight corners, and wins in the end through quick action and quicker thinking”.
