A MOST PRIVATE INTRIGUE

by Leo Rosten ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 1, 1967

Everybody's f*a*v*o*r*i*t*e dialectician here provides an espionage entertainment, ""a knot of silk and smoke."" The hero is Peter Galton, Princeton gentleman, bachelor--but not Bonded. Galton's bent on saving a damsel whom he left in Soviet distress nearly six years ago. Fatly greedy Mr. Sulenkian is prepared to smuggle her out sandwiched between two top scientists, and his price is as fabulous as the Istanbul setting. Our government is interested, but allows this to be handled by Galton as a privately financed business deal. Galton goes to Turkey and, in one of the wildest stretches of recent suspense reading, he pulls off a harried secret hurry-in to Russia at one of the border's weakest points. A beautiful entanglement for young sophisticates.
