From the first scene, a meeting of conspirators in a church in Germany, to the breathless finale in Washington, the tension builds. As always, Helen MacInnes' narrative is lucid and swift; her knowledge of the world, its people, cities, terrains, customs, history, politics, is startling; her delineation of character is sharp; and her subject is as topical as tomorrow's headlines. The Hidden Target is romantic, tough-minded, spellbinding, a novel to open with anticipation and to close with cheers. Ms. MacInnes is recognized as the creator of remarkably acute and supremely exciting novels set against a background of meaningful events. In the genre of highly literate suspense, she is unrivaled. . Book Club Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Bookseller Terms of Sale
