Well you are in luck with this story by Helen MacInnes which details the adventures of young archaeologist John Craig who is drawn into a plot involving double agents and ex-Nazis. He is recruited by the professionals to assist them with the search for an ex-SS colonel who is now working for the Soviets...
This is a dense tale, set mostly in Paris and on the Greek island of Mykonos. The story is very slowly bought to the boil as the plan involving many actors (probably too many to be honest) comes to fruition. At times the story is a little too slow but the main characters are well fleshed out, especially John Craig and unwitting Soviet pawn Veronica.
A very enjoyable story.
