MOVIE TIE-IN EDITION, published eight years after the first edition, but in tandem with the release of Alfred Hitchcock's SECRET AGENT, a 1936 Gaumont British film featuring British spies operating behind the lines in war-torn Europe. The movie was based on two of the Ashenden stories: "The Traitor" and "The Hairless Mexican." The dust jacket features a striking image of Madeleine Carroll as Elsa Carrington (Mrs. Ashenden), lurking with her pistol drawn.
