Eric Ambler

Eric Ambler (1909-1998) was a British writer known for his spy fiction and thriller novels, as well as his work as a screenwriter. His stories typically feature amateur protagonists who find themselves entangled with enemies, including spies and criminals. Often out of their depth, these characters ultimately manage to navigate their challenges successfully. Notable novels such as The Mask of Dimitrios, Journey into Fear, and The Light of Day (adapted as Topkapi) were made into films. Ambler published his first novel, The Dark Frontier, in 1936, and his last work was a short story collection titled Waiting for Orders.
