Seller's Description:
As New. No Jacket. Trade Paperback 1st printing. [originally published in 1945]. A fine, unread copy of the trade paperback. It's 1941, and the last place in the world British agent Tommy Hambledon wants to be is back in Berlin. He's more than happy to be in neutral Switzerland, safely posing as Theophilus Hartzer, a commercial traveler in railway wagons. But thanks to an unfortunate series of events, this identity is stolen by Sigmund Ulseth, a confidence man who claims to be a chemist on the verge of perfecting a revolutionary new explosive which he has promised to both the Nazis and the Swedes. After being left for dead by the fleeing Ulseth, Tommy is kidnapped by the Nazis, who mistake him for Ulseth and install him in a lavishly fitted laboratory in Berlin to complete his project. It's all because of that infernal beard, which Tommy had grown to conceal some scars and which now heightens his physical resemblance to Ulseth. Tommy, who knows nothing of chemistry, has to think fast to stay ahead of his captors, but with the help of a young Dutch chemist he comes up with Ulsenite, which he temporarily manages to convince the Nazis is the real thing. So once again Tommy is hobnobbing with his old nemesis Goebbels and sharing jokes with the fearsome Goering, biding his time-and dodging the persistent Swedes-until he can escape Berlin before he's found out. But until then he intends to make as much mischief as possible for the Nazis. In his role as an irascible scientist, Tommy's at the top of his form in this audacious adventure, the fifth-and one ofthe best-of his long series of exploits.

The thing about Manning Coles is that you can rely on them not to grieve you. For anyone who has reached the point where some books are too violent, so that he often has to lay them aside unfinished, these are a fine mixture of excitement and solidity. And they have that British habit of lapsing into bits of quotation and throwing in scraps of literal word-by-word translation from German and French that is charming and gently humorous in the midst of the tension and mayhem. I love these books.
