About the Author/作者介绍： Eric Ambler (1909-98)是20世紀30年代最受歡迎的英國作家, 同時也是最有影響力的間諜小說家。他的作品總能捕捉到世界大戰爆發時彌漫歐洲的恐懼噩夢氣息。他的小說幾乎每一本都能躋身於暢銷書行列，部分被拍成膾炙人口的電影，可以說，Eric Ambler創造了一種間諜小說的現實主義模式。

Eric Ambler (1909-98) was one of the most fascinating British writers of the late 1930s. His novels retain a remarkable sense of the dread and terror that filled Europe as world war broke out. Some were made into films (not least Orson Welles’ superb version of Journey into Fear), all were bestsellers, inventing a new, more realistic form of spy novel, where the main protagonist is not so much a hero as a victim, pursued by malevolent Fascist forces of overwhelming power. These are paranoid stories, but written at a time when paranoia was disturbingly close to common sense。
