NIGHT JOURNEY

Graham wrote this foreign intrigue in 1940 and after 700 copies were sold, its type and sheets were destroyed in an air raid. Ironically enough it deals with an Italian scientist's formula for a persistent gas which is destroyed in a bombing, along with his life. But not before a few notes are passed on to a German and Robert Mencken's attempt to keep him from reaching Germany ends in a picturesque sequence aboard a train. Authoritative action along with a pleasant subsidiary romance.
