Sylvia Pleydell is observed by Lieutenant Robert Taylor at a railway station showing surprise when a man stops to speak to her. As he has a crush on her even though he knows she is married, he is curious who the strange man is. Turns out the strange man is a Czech who had an affair with Sylvia during the war. Now the new Communist Government has assigned him to Washington to make contact with old friends including old lovers.

Robert soon learns not all is as it seems including the Communist leanings of the former lover, Jan, and the love he thought Payton Pleydell had for his wife, Sylvia. Washington of the early 1950's is full of intrigue and paranoia about the rise of the Communism around the world making anyone a suspect when government information is unofficially released.

I have read MacInnes in the past and enjoyed her. This novel I found slow and wordy but as I was on a plane flying from Mexico to Toronto, it did make the flight seem short. Maybe I am being a little unfair so I try another of her efforts as many of them have very familiar titles. (
