A brilliant story of espionage and disguise from the original master of spy fiction. From the author of the modern classic ROGUE MALEClaudio Howerd-Wolferstan is neither a communist nor a spy.Yet he breaks into a top-security Government hostel to retrieve the family treasure.With a spot secured on the wanted lists of both the British police and Russian communist leaders, he is forced to run from a charge of high treason.A master of disguise, he bluffs his way out of many a dangerous situation and outwits his pursuers.But how long can his luck last?The speed of Claudio's transformations from Spanish sailor to chimney-sweep, from elephant trainer to Indian guitarist give the chase a comical breathlessness.It is easy to understand why FELLOW PASSENGER is one of Household's own favourites.
