Description
Graham Greene's The Third Man is a gripping tale of post-war Vienna, where a city lies in ruins and the truth is hard to find. A second-rate novelist, Rollo Martins, arrives penniless to visit his friend and hero, only to discover that Harry Lime has died in suspicious circumstances. As the police close in on his associates, Martins must navigate a complex web of lies and deceit. In The Fallen Idol, Greene explores the darker side of human nature, where the truth can be even more deadly than a lie. A small boy, left in the care of his butler and his wife, begins to realize the danger of the games adults play. With its chilling story and universal themes, this book is a worthwhile read for fans of mystery and suspense. With an introduction by Ian Thomson, this edition of The Third Man offers a unique perspective on Greene's masterpiece.
