Haki believes Latimer would be interested in the career of the notorious criminal Dimitrios, whose body has been identified in an Istanbul morgue. Latimer, who is indeed intrigued, begins an independent investigation of the details of Dimitrios' criminal career, and learns some information about it which is more dangerous than he had anticipated. He soon finds himself fighting for his life against a ruthless, capable enemy. https://www.dixikon.se/dimitrios-forkrigstid/ This was a pretty good story, although I think I missed somethings for a couple of reasons, such as it being an audiobook, not knowing as much about the history as I should, etc. I found it a little hard to keep up with some of the characters, and at the end of the book, certain things happened that must have been important to the story, but I didn't know how it all fit together. But I didn't really have time to go back and figure it all out, so I will assume my enjoyment was reduced somewhat. An excellent and intelligent thriller depicting the crumbling mask of civilisation in the immediate pre-war era in continental Europe. Eric Ambler’s extremely atmospheric tale sees the English crime writer Charles Latimer travelling abroad in between novels. Witness to the corpse of a wanted criminal recovered from The Bosphorus, Latimer’s writerly curiosity gets the better of him as he sets out to discover the story that led the victim to his grisly end. Full of richly evocative period detail, international political intrigue, and a page-turning sequence of criminal revelations, Ambler succeeded in writing a belter of a novel that paved the way for many of the 20th century’s best regarded thriller and espionage authors. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
