A classic espionage thriller from master storyteller Graham Greene
‘One of the most important British writers of the twentieth century - he brought something undeniably new to fiction’ Daily Telegraph
Carleton Myatt meets Coral Musker, a naïve English chorus girl, aboard the Orient Express as it heads across Europe to Constantinople. As their relationship develops, they find themselves caught up in the fates of the other passengers and drawn into a web of espionage, murder and lies.
