Synopsis

Espionage - The idea of acting as front man for a Chinese pirate appeals to Nilsen's sense of humor. But what begins as a simple, if not entirely legal, matter of paper-shuffling ends up with Nilsen in an Indonesian jail. "Tops for its picture of Southeast Asia, in all its color and turmoil." - James M. Cain, The New York Times Book Review.

Review

'Faultless characterisation . . . a novel that has a rare integrity and quality.' -- Daily Mail

'In Passage of Arms Ambler has surpassed even his own distinction . . . A taut and extraordinary piece of writing.' -- Sunday Times

'It is difficult to imagine how an adult contemporary novel of adventure could be much better done.' -- The Observer
