Judgement on Deltchev

Foster’s dramatic skill is well-known in London’s West End theaters. So perhaps it wasn’t so surprising when he was hired by an American newspaper publisher to cover the trial of Yordan Delchev for treason. Accused of membership in the sinister Officer Corps Brotherhood and of masterminding a plot to assassinate his country’s leader, Delchev may in fact be a pawn and his trial all show. But when Foster meets Madame Delchev, the accused’s powerful wife, he suddenly become enmeshed in more life-threatening intrigue than he could have imagined. Library Journal Released in 1940, Journey finds protagonist "Graham" trying to make his way home to England from a job in Europe. Among his souvenirs are plans for the Turkish defense system, which a pair of Nazi spies greatly covet. In Judgment (1951), Foster-another protagonist with a single name-is hired to cover the trial of an alleged spy and finds himself getting far more than he bargained for after meeting the man's wife. These are solid reads for espionage fans. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information. Although trained as a playwright, Foster chronicles the trial of "Papa" Deltchev, a discredited Eastern European leader charged with treason, and learns that truthful reporting behind the Iron Curtain can also be a capital crime
