Epitaph for a Spy is one of Eric Ambler’s finest early espionage thrillers and helped redefine the modern spy novel. The story follows Hungarian refugee Josef Vadassy, wrongly suspected of espionage after a roll of film reveals photographs of secret naval defences. Blending suspense, realism and political tension, Ambler replaced glamorous secret agents with ordinary individuals caught in dangerous international intrigue, profoundly influencing writers including Graham Greene, Ian Fleming and John le Carré.
