Synopsis

Paul Haydn was on his way home at last, to New York and the civilian life he longed for, after years of war. Yet he would never forget the tormented people, desperate for refuge in Berlin. They had survived the war—but now a new, sinister presence threatened them, their families, the whole of society.Now he discovered that, back home, some of his former colleagues had dangerous political sympathies, that someone was trying to discredit the woman he had once loved. The pattern seemed suddenly familiar. He began to realize why there was such interest in his counter-propaganda skills.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Sandi on February 26, 2011

Not one of Helen MacInnes's best works. The premise, the infiltration of communists into various facets of post World War 2 New York City life, held promise but the delivery was so heavy-handed that it became a chore to read.......more

Goodreads review by Kristin on August 10, 2008

Fine mystery, loved it because it was written in the 50's so the fashions and social norms are contemporary to then, so that was fun to read.......more

Goodreads review by Melissa on December 11, 2009

This was a very disturbing book!!! Makes you think.........more

Goodreads review by David on October 20, 2022

A slow-burning, tense novel centred on the creeping insurgence of Communist infiltration in post WWII America. Paul Haydn, weary from 8 years service with US forces in occupied France and post collapse Berlin where he’d witnessed the ruthlessness of the Russian take-over intends to take a long break......more
