Publisher's Synopsis
PAN CLASSIC CRIME - With an introduction by Robert GoddardNicholas Marlow travelled to Milan to work at a time when political consciousness was raw and uncompromising. He left much sooner than he had intended. Marlow was no politician, merely an engineer. But the firm he worked for produced shell cases, and the shells were the instruments of war. In the circumstances disengagement was an impossibility and Marlow rapidly found himself a pawn in a subtle, ferocious power struggle.
