Would make a fine gift. MacInnes wrote 21 espionage thrillers, four of which (including The Salzburg Connection) were later adapted as films. Her early books were set during the Second World War, often featuring lay people who become spies or otherwise caught up in acting on behalf of the Allied war effort. She is now seen as one of the first female authors featuring her understanding and inside knowledge of espionage .
