Description: Originally published in 1936 by Collins, this thriller is here republished for the first time in almost 70 years, with an introduction by the award-winning expert on inter-war popular fiction, Martin Edwards. Since Sydney Horler's death in 1954 his work has fallen into neglect, partly because of the outmoded political opinions that are often expressed in the novels. This new edition of *The Traitor* gives contemporary readers a long-overdue chance to rediscover an early thriller that is plotted with dash and verve - a book that helps to explain the author's phenomenal popularity in his own time.
