Titan Books is doing some great reprints. Back in the '60s when I was reading spy novels by the truckload, I read many by Helen MacInnes in paperback. They've been out of print for years, but Titan is bringing them back. Check 'em out.
Amazon.com: Above Suspicion (9781781161531): Helen Macinnes: Books: 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 pre-war Europe, nobody is above suspicion, in fact the husband and wife are being carefully monitored by shadowy figures.
Above Suspicion was MacInnes’ 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.
“Hide and seek with death - in the shadow of terror... The hallmarks of a MacInnes novel of suspense are as individual and as clearly stamped as a Hitchcock thriller.” -The New York Times
