Richard and Frances Myles are preparing for their annual European summer vacation in 1939 when they are visited at their Oxford college by old friend Peter Galt, who has a seemingly simple job for
them. But in the heightened atmosphere of prewar Europe, nobody is above suspicion, in fact the husband and wife are being carefully monitored by shadowy figures.
Above Suspicion was MacInnes’s breakthrough book, a bestseller published in 1941 and released as a movie in 1943, directed by Richard Thorpe and starring Joan Crawford and Fred MacMurray.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Starts casually in Oxford, becomes intriguing in Germany, and highly exciting in Austria, Tyrol, and Italy…Notably well written.” —Daily Telegraph (London)
“[A] hotfooted story of adventure, constant danger, and very superior suspense…a skilled and breathless tale of the hunt and the hunted, with the story of a young married couple’s anonymous excursion into Germany, France, and Austria on the heels of the Gestapo…Richard and Frances are gay and gallant company, and this is nonstop reading.” —Kirkus Reviews
