The Spy

“WHO AM I?” demands a tipsy stranger aboard a nearly empty ship—then gives George Morgan Crosby his full name.

In tropical Valencia, where every visitor is shadowed by spies, a struggle over the country’s rich nitrate beds has made suspicion a way of life. Crosby, a State Department lawyer, has come not to meddle in the quarrel but because yellow fever closed the ports on his route home from Panama. Yet the more he insists it was an accident, the more convinced officials become that he is on a secret mission. With the Government, the Nitrate Trust and the Walker-Keefe crowd all scheming for control—and warships being called for—Crosby finds himself caught in a game he never meant to play. Who is watching him, and what will they do when they decide he knows too much?
