Above Suspicion

Above Suspicion (1980) by Helen MacInnes – Fontana Edition
Offered by Crappy Old Books

Step into the shadowy world of pre-war espionage with Above Suspicion, Helen MacInnes’s taut 1941 thriller, here in its dog-eared 1980 Fontana paperback edition — pages slightly yellowed, spine unapologetically creased, but still clinging proudly to its Cold War charm.

Before Bond and Bourne, there was Richard and Frances Myles: a respectable Oxford couple sent on a "harmless" pre-war errand into Nazi Germany that quickly unravels into danger, double agents, and whispered secrets behind café doors. If you like your thrillers with actual thrills (and the occasional damp umbrella), this one still delivers, even if it smells faintly of someone’s attic.

Classic suspense from a time when passports were handwritten and danger wore a monocle. Brought to you by Crappy Old Books — your source for well-loved paperbacks and mild existential dread.
