Description:

If you're prepared to acknowledge that the 'coincidence' at the start, which becomes an essential part of the narrative, is far-fetched and then get on with it, this is a smashing read with a modern tone and a plot that only Hitchcock could have done justice to. Why it was never filmed I can't imagine. The League of Nations, Geneva in the early '20s, German secret societies, sex slaves (well, okay, just the one and only a hint)... It's still fresh.—Sem on goodreads.com. [Suggest a different description.]

Author Bio for Palmer, John Leslie

Author Image

John Leslie Palmer (1885–1944) was an English theatre critic and prolific author. Under his own name, he wrote extensively about early English actors and about British literary figures. He also wrote fiction under the pseudonyms 'John Somers' and 'Christopher Haddon' and collaboratively (with Hilary St. George Saunders) as 'Francis Beeding' and 'David Pilgrim'.

Palmer lived in Geneva for eighteen years from 1920 to 1938, working in the Secretariat of the League of Nations. His long-term collaboration with Hilary Saunders, who was also an employee of the Secretariat, began during those years.
