The Venetian Affair

Description

While on assignment in Paris and Venice, an American journalist works desperately to expose Communist espionage activities...Fenner burned Rosenfeld's message, reminding himself wryly that he was behaving in the very best tradition. This was a game not too difficult to learn, he thought. A game? A game in deadly earnest. Where, he wondered suddenly, would Venice lead?

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).

"If you have been looking for an adult Ian Fleming novel, Helen MacInnes has written it." (N. Y. Herald Tribune)"
