Title: Night Journey
First published: 1966
Description: The reluctant spy . . .

Spying was repugnant to Mencken—even in wartime—but he had no alternative. He took the assignment.

His objective was to attend a conference of Nazi scientists, researchers in germ warfare and poison gas, and report back to London. He was to pick up his orders in Venice.

The nightmare, paranoid world of a spy was suddenly Mencken’s world. In Winston Graham's *Night Journey* Mencken becomes a man split between self-respect and fear, conditioned by terror of the faceless men dedicated to his elimination . . .

"Winston Graham writes shrewdly, with a bite to his dialogue." *Scotsman*
