The Third Man by Graham Greene

While The Third Man is recognized by any film buff as one of Orson Welles's great roles--Greene's novella is less well known. It was written in anticipation of the film, with Graham going directly to the screenplay from this original story.

Graham Greene's tale of mystery and intrigue in postwar Vienna begins when pulp fiction writer Rollo Martins arrives in town looking for an old friend, Harry Lime. When Harry turns up dead under mysterious circumstances, Rollo feels compelled to investigate--a decision that will plunge him headlong into a web of romance, danger, corruption, and deceit.

Graham Greene (1904-1991) is a superb storyteller. His bestselling novels include The Power and the Glory, The Quiet American, The End of the Affair, Travels with My Aunt, The Comedians, The Heart of the Matter, and numerous others. Many of his novels and short stories have been made into films.
