TO LIVE IN DANGER
This tense, closely knit story of counter-espionage in Central Europe has all the qualities of a first-class thriller. It is also a story of moral erosion. The narrator, a young Englishman, is sent straight from his suburban home to the Intelligence Corps on the Austro-Yugoslav border. At once he enters an exotic world of spies, smuggling and sex. And at once he begins to change. Like a Greek tragedy the book opens just before its climax and the events leading up to this are then swiftly revealed. Elements which at first seem unconnected - frontier-crossing, interrogations, love affairs - come together in explosive combination. This is Mr Magee’s first novel. His sense of background is completely authentic. The characters are genuine and subtly drawn. To Live In Danger is the work of an alert, polished and interesting writer.
