For Sheer gall in tearing off a story it is hard to beat this Scandinavian, author of Live Dangerously. He has now done it again with a hard-boiled, suave, amusing and breathlessly exciting yarn about a girl and man who blithely outwit the Gestapo and the German army, survive a train wreck and a forced landing and starvation, all to get themselves out of several untenable situations. The girl from St. Louis was cought in Berlin after the war started, and had a chance to take away, if she could escape, the secret of the V-4 weapon. He was a Swedish industrialist caught in the predicament of having to sell munitions to the Germans.
