Eric Ambler's novelistic career falls into two halves. In the first
half belong the works he published between 1935-1940. These include
the highly acclaimed "Epitaph for a Spy" (1938) and "The Mask of
Dimitrios" (1939), both of which were made into successful films in
1944. The intrigue books of this period unfold in interwar Europe,
a bitten-up, anxious place reeling between the extremes of fascism
and Soviet communism. To reflect changes in the postwar world,
Ambler set his later books in third-world countries where
first-world financing collides with unstable, often revolutionary,
politics--all within the shadow of large multinational
corporations. These powerful firms with connections in high places
take the same liberties as big governments have always done in
works like "Dr. Frigo" (1974), the only Ambler book set in Latin
America, and the best-selling "The Care of Time "(1981).
