The second book in Jimmy Sangster's "John Smith" series of classic
spy thrillers. Ex-British spy John Smith blackmailed his way out of
the secret service years ago and is content barely scraping by as a
private eye. But then his manipulative and totally untrustworthy
ex-spy master offers him a lucrative payday to participate in
high-risk operation on the other side of the Iron Curtain...or face
involuntary commitment to an insane asylum if he refuses. His
mission: go to Russia as a spy and get himself captured so he can
pass bad intelligence to the enemy. The trick will be getting back
alive when there's absolutely nobody he can trust, especially his
boss. He takes the assignment, a deadly decision that soon confirms
that he not only would have been better off in the asylum...but
that perhaps he truly deserved to be there. "Breathlessly paced,
wickedly funny, with a naughty, but hilarious climax." St. Louis
Post-Dispatch "Consistently funny." Kirkus Reviews "Sangster's
light-hearted approach gives the novel sprightly animation. The
startling twist in the very last sentence is as ironic as it is
unexpected." The Pittsburgh Press "Humorous, exciting, and
unpredictable. A well-written adventure." The Delaware Morning News
"Well-written and good fun." The Sydney Morning Herald This novel
was adapted into a feature film starring Robert Horton, Jill St.
John and Sebastian Cabot.
