Another book from the Lifeline Bookfair:
A sunken launch. It couldn't be much more than a couple of fathoms near the island ... one could dive without any elaborate outfit ... a steel deed-box, small enough to lift. It sounded too easy ... Perhaps it was.
(Page 111)
World War II and its aftermath inspired a whole generation of thrillers. This one sees a gaggle of rival crooks searching the Netherlands for lost Nazi loot. The good guys (such as the are) eventually wind up with it, but not without a lot of plot twists and turns along the way.
