Author Biography
Helen MacInnes (1907-1985) was the Scottish-born American author of 21 spy novels. Dubbed "the queen of spy writers", her books have sold more than 25 million copies in the United States alone and have been translated into over 22 languages. Several of her books have been adapted into films, such as Above Suspicion (1943), with Joan Crawford, and The Salzburg Connection (1972).
Reviews"Helen MacInnes can hang her cloak and dagger right up there with Eric Ambler and Graham Greene" (Newsweek) "Hide and seek with death - in the shadow of terror. As clearly stamped as a Hitchcock thriller" (New York Times)"
