GOODREADS REVIEWS:
treva (Jun 18, 2014 - 3 of 5 stars) liked it: Contains a bit of unfortunate casual sexism that mars what is otherwise a lightly entertaining post-war intrigue. The sexism is doubly unfortunate, as there was a certain amount of insightful dialogue between the romantic leads. It's like the author was just on the cusp of becoming a decent human being, and then shrugged his shoulders and took the easy road of the status quo. Come on, bro. Man up.
Renee (Oct 12, 2016 - 4 of 5 stars) really liked it: Picked this bugger up from the shelf (blindly and without a cover)...not suspecting it to be a spy novel until I SAW the cover on goodreads. "Ugh!!", i said to myself! Definitely not a "spy" enthusiast...however..I was pleasantly surprised at how fast I was turning the pages. This made for a nice quick read. The story line itself was well thought out. I read another reader's comment about the sexism in it and I agree but realized it was copyrighted 1951. The ending (well the last couple of pages) was a bit corny. I guess if I found another book written by this author, I would be inclined to pick it up and read it.

Work Description
Handsome, trigger-sharp and cynical, Alan Morgan had been driven outside the law by circumstances which denied him his heritage. Now he is willing and eager to pit himself against society. But, though Morgan was technically a criminal, he regarded himself as a talented amateur until a routine job of smuggling became an international cause celeb-re.
It began simply enough. Morgan was hired to go into Germany, find a man and bring him back to England. But from the start this project was unorthodox. For one thing, Morgan knew his employer was lying. For another, he began to fall in love.
The girl was Linda Ward-Hamilton, loving almost against her will, drawn irresistibly to the dark and lonely figure of Alan Morgan. and when Alan's trim, fast launch pulled away from England, Linda was secretly aboard. It was then, voyaging into the unknown, all that he was and all that he loved a hostage to fortune, that Morgan knew the unaccustomed taste of fear.
