A high-octane story from the great Eric Ambler of a journalist on the run in the south of France

Lucia Bernardi was last seen driving a car at top speed away from a villa - and the body of her murdered Iraqi lover - in Switzerland. Now disgraced journalist Piet Maas has been sent to find her in the south of France. When he does, he must decide whether to get the scoop of his lifetime - or to plunge into ever more dangerous waters with her.

Featuring a cast of fraudsters, hitmen and Kurdish revolutionaries, A Kind of Anger is a classic thriller from the father of the genre.

About the author

Eric Ambler

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.
