This one got me hooked!

This is the first Innes book that I read. It introduced me to Innes's exciting story telling. Since then I have been working on reading them all. This is one of his best.
Don't make the same mistake I did

This book is classic Innes. But it has also been published under the title "Fire in the Snow". So if you are like me, trying to catch up on his early books, just be aware that the same book lurks under different titles.
Hammond Innes' Best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I have read several books by Hammond Innes and have always enjoyed the adventure and exotic found in his stories. The Lonely Skier, however, stands apart. This book, with its post-war-time story of espionage in a remote ski chalet on the Italian/German border, will not disappont the reader looking for adventure, action, or intrigue. In addition, The Lonely Skier is also packed with dry comedy, interesting characters, and is akin to watching an elegant black and white movie of the forties. It is rare that I read a book more than once, but I have read this book so many times that it has literally fallen apart and I need to find a new copy. I might also add that I took this book along during twelve years in Africa and I always found its snowy backdrop more effective than the most powerful of air conditioners.
