    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    A Coffins for Dimetrios

    Very compelling and hard to put down! Ambler's characters remind us of ourselves and get themselves into crazy situations, like "how can you be so stupid!" (OR maybe he just reminds me of myself!). Anyways, the opposite of James Bond and very realistic! Shows what happens behind the scenes in spy versus spy. Anyways, if you read one of them, you'really hooked for life!
