About This Book
Charles Barrett, a young American officer, awakes to find himself a prisoner in an asylum outside Rome. The doctor keeps telling him he's not Barrett, but an Italian who has been an inmate there for years. — To get released, Barrett acts "cured", assuming the identity of the Italian. Following the strange suggestion of another patient, Barrett begins a search for a beguiling girl...a girl who turns out to be the key to a bizarre, jagged puzzle of espionage, Nazi terror and one of the cleverest charades ever conceived!
