Seller's Description:
As New. No Jacket. Trade Paperback 1st printing. [originally published in 1945]. A fine, unread copy of the trade paperback. It's 1941, and the last place in the world British agent Tommy Hambledon wants to be is back in Berlin. He's more than happy to be in neutral Switzerland, safely posing as Theophilus Hartzer, a commercial traveler in railway wagons. But thanks to an unfortunate series of events, this identity is stolen by Sigmund Ulseth, a confidence man who claims to be a chemist on the verge of perfecting a revolutionary new explosive which he has promised to both the Nazis and the Swedes. After being left for dead by the fleeing Ulseth, Tommy is kidnapped by the Nazis, who mistake him for Ulseth and install him in a lavishly fitted laboratory in Berlin to complete his project. It's all because of that infernal beard, which Tommy had grown to conceal some scars and which now heightens his physical resemblance to Ulseth. Tommy, who knows nothing of chemistry, has to think fast to stay ahead of his captors, but with the help of a young Dutch chemist he comes up with Ulsenite, which he temporarily manages to convince the Nazis is the real thing. So once again Tommy is hobnobbing with his old nemesis Goebbels and sharing jokes with the fearsome Goering, biding his time-and dodging the persistent Swedes-until he can escape Berlin before he's found out. But until then he intends to make as much mischief as possible for the Nazis. In his role as an irascible scientist, Tommy's at the top of his form in this audacious adventure, the fifth-and one ofthe best-of his long series of exploits.

Seller's Description:
Near Fine. No Jacket. Tommy Hambledon is in Switzerland to investigate a new explosive being devised by a German chemist. They are both reported killed in an explosion, but soon the chemist is in Berlin working for the Nazis. Oddly, he has the same fingerprints as Tommy! Spine head gently bumped.
