Beginning in 1937, Eric Ambler wrote a series of novels that introduced ordinary protagonists thrust into political intrigue they were ill-prepared to handle, and in the process invented the modern suspense novel. His stories were touted for their realism, and Ambler established himself as a thriller writer of depth and originality. His work paved the way for such writers as John Le Carre, Len Deighton, and Robert Ludlum.
