The spy hunter is an interesting novel about the fight against German agents during the Second World War and about the methods of British intelligence. The memoirs are written as a cycle of stories from Orest Pinto’s practice. A resistance character—or an informer recruited by the fascists? A refugee from occupied territories—or a German intelligence agent? These questions are answered by Lieutenant Colonel Pinto.
A clear, concise, and at the same time literary—almost fictional—style of the recollections plunges the listener into the tense atmosphere of wartime London and the front-line area of Western Europe. One of the central episodes of the book is the exposure of a traitor who provided the enemy with information that led to the death of an Allied landing force in Holland in September 1944… “The Spy Hunter” is both a memoir of the Second World War and a kind of spy detective story.
