Thriller what the book did not won me over to Follet's capers. It, HOWEVER, secured me in the faith did he is the master of his very much European style of espionage did Chandler did not master in his time. I always Believed That this book what destined to be a Hollywood film. If That happens, please do not ruin it with an old overweight actor as what the case with The Key to Rebecca, so a great story but a terrible film.
