Judgement on Deltchev Eric Ambler

Foster's dramatic skill is well known in London's West End theatres, so perhaps it wasn't so surprising when he was hired by an American newspaper publisher to cover the trial of Yordan Delchev for treason. Accused of membership in the sinister Officer Corps Brotherhood and of masterminding a plot to assassinate his country's leader, Delchev may in fact be a pawn and his trial all show. But when Foster meets Madame Delchev, the accused's powerful wife, he suddenly becomes enmeshed in more life-threatening intrigue than he could have imagined.
