The Allied Control Commission in Germany, the re-opening of a silver mine, the black market, brown Nazis and Red Communists make a colorful background for a murder-spy tale. The death of Bellayne's wife, later of his ""frat"", Mercedes, the dismantling riots, the man in green, a world of automobiles, initials and abbreviations- all contribute to a very complicated secret service project in which the double-bluff catches the ""big fish"". Fairly prickles with concentrated british-isms.
