Waiting for Orders

A career-spanning collection of crime and mystery stories with an autobiographical introduction by the Diamond Dagger Award–winning author.

Credited with inventing the modern spy novel, Eric Ambler was hailed by Graham Greene as "unquestionably our best thriller writer," while John le Carré declared him "the source on which we all draw." Waiting for Orders collects eight of Ambler's short stories written between 1939 and 1992 that range from the fringes of WWII Germany to the Cold War intrigues of Central America. This volume also includes six cases featuring the refugee Czech detective Dr. Czissar.

Stories include "The Army of the Shadows," "The Case of the Pinchbeck Locket," "The Blood Bargain," and others.
