Arthur Simpson, Anti-Hero from "Topkapi: The Light of Day", is middle-aged, stateless and desperately in need of a new passport. Jumping from one illicit job to another, Arthur soon finds himself in trouble when the whistle’s blown and he needs to lie low for a while. Fleeing to Central Africa to save his skin, Arthur Simpson convinces his new employers that he is an accomplished soldier of fortune. But his shady assignment on the border of a North African country soon turns out to be more than he bargained for when he finds himself up against a multinational corporation willing to do anything for a piece of the land Arthur finds himself on. "Arthur Abdel Simpson . . . is one of fiction's most delightful rogues, and his adventures provide the best Ambler entertainment in years." — Anthony Boucher. ==== https://www.fantasticfiction.com/a/eric-ambler/ http://spyguysandgals.com/sgShowChar.aspx?id=693 https://pt.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Ambler https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Ambler
