		Repeat: that's Eric Ambler, who, beginning in the mid-1930s, wrote a succession of classic thrillers that blazed a trail for two generations of writers of political-suspense novels.
		Ambler makes you realize that a seasoned writer doesn't retire; he continues to write, in his head if not on paper, even if he's in his eighty-sixth year.
		Ambler's explanation sounded deliberately vague and circuitous, as if he were acting as a double agent to conceal the contents of The Scapegoat from his imitators in a crowded field.

		Born in London in 1909, Ambler had by the age of thirty produced a group of novels that would forever change the fundamental nature of the suspense thriller.
		Gone from the novels of the 1950s onward are the one-dimensional ideologues of the collectivist 1930s; in their place are ambivalent, alienated characters, morally confused and psychologically homeless.
		Ambler's interest in the evolving personality, the ability to adapt, is apparent throughout his work.

	Eric Ambler's Judgment On Deltchev reviewed by Pearce Hansen
		In the world of Eric Ambler, the lightest conversation about the most trivial details can actually be a frantic exercise in mutual deception, with death as the penalty for failure to convince.
		Besides the pretence of banality, Ambler also depends on plot twists that rival the agility of a mountain goat escaping from a predator, and so any review risks choosing between either frustrating vagueness, or of spoiling the seemingly endless parade of nasty surprises.
		Eric Ambler WAS a master, and JUDGMENT ON DELTCHEV is a worthy minor gem, an example of his work worth reading for its sheer noir sensibility, or to savor Ambler’s techniques of suspense.
