Spare, fast-paced, and utterly gripping, The Third Man concerns the adventures of Rollo Martins, a comic, earnest figure summoned to Vienna in the aftermath of World War II by his boyhood chum Lime. Arriving to discover that his friend has apparently been killed in a traffic accident, Martins is troubled by police allegations of Lime’s sordid criminality and by his own growing suspicion that the “accident” may have really been murder. Cleverly upsetting one expectation after another for both Martins and the reader, Greene fashions a roaring good tale set in the shadowy underworld of Vienna’s postwar political intrigue—and in the equally murky precincts of his own devilish morality.
