Maugham's novel is not only a study of that strange and frightening phenomenon of the mind known as dissociation of personality, but is also an enthralling story of adventure, love and intrigue in North Africa. The hero's appalling disability, as a result of a head wound during the war (WWII), adds immeasurably to the danger of his already hazardous work with MI-5. An engrossing tale of a man's developing fear of himself as he becomes more and more entangled in a web of mystery and violence which starts in Cairo, spreads to Tangier and London, and reaches its final climax in a remote cottage in Sussex. New edition of this work originally published in 1958.
