The 19th of mid-20th century craftsman Mason's long-running spy-thriller series featuring Army Intelligence Major Hugh North, recalled from the European Theater at the end of WWII to search for a beautiful young woman, who, during recapture of Manila from the Japanese, escaped the city with a dossier containing the names of British and American citizens who had betrayed their countries to the enemy.
