Desperate for a country to call home, a stateless exile turns soldier of fortune in this Edgar Award–winning author's international thriller.
Eric Ambler first introduced readers to Arthur Abdel Simpson in The Light of Day. Simpson, whose English father and Egyptian mother left him with uncertain citizenship, took part in a daring Istanbul robbery before heading back to Greece on a temporary travel permit. But now he faces the prospect of becoming a noncitizen of any country.
Frantic to beg, steal, or forge a passport for himself, Simpson becomes a mercenary for a ruthless Central African mining company seeking control of land rich in rare earth ores. A misfit with little military experience, he quickly finds himself in over his head. But that's nothing new for Simpson, who nonetheless manages to outwit his ruthless adversaries.
Dirty Story was previously published under the title This Gun for Hire.
