The Levanter
Ambler is, quite simply, the best. -The New Yorker Syria, 1970. Michael Howell has kept his family's Middle Eastern business going through a decade of takeovers, war, and revolution, but he's about to meet his deadliest challenge yet. Howell is working late with his office manager and mistress, Teresa, when the pair discover men working overtime-producing bombs for the Palestine Action Force. The terrorists are not deterred by their discovery-rather, they force Howell and Teresa to help them carry out their plan.

Über den Autor
Eric Ambler began his writing career in the early 1930s, and quickly established a reputation as a thriller writer of extraordinary depth and originality. He is often credited as the inventor of the modern political thriller and John Le Carre once described him as 'the source on which we all draw.'Ambler began his working life at an engineering firm, then as a copywriter at an advertising agency, while in his spare time he worked on his ambition to become a playwright. His first novel was published in 1936 and as his reputation as a novelist grew he turned to writing full time. During the war he was seconded to the Army Film Unit, where he wrote, among other projects, The Way Ahead with Peter Ustinov. He moved to Hollywood in 1957 and during his eleven years there scripted some memorable films, including A Night to Remember and The Cruel Sea, which won him an Oscar nomination.In a career spanning over sixty years, Eric Ambler wrote nineteen novels and was awarded the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger Award for Passage of Arms in 1959. He was married to Joan Harrison, who wrote or co-wrote many of Alfred Hitchcock's screenplays - in fact Hitchcock organized their wedding. Eric Ambler died in London in October 1998.
