Synopsis:
In The Third Man, Rollo Martins is invited by a school friend Harry Lime to post-war Vienna, a dreary place at that time occupied by Allied troops. Martins finds that Lime was one of the worst racketeers and has just been killed, but was the death an accident? The truth is more that Martins can bear. In The Fallen Idol, a small boy named Philip is left in a large house with Baines, the butler, and Mrs. Baines, thin and menacing. And soon Philip becomes caught up in other people's secretive lives.
From the Inside Flap:
The Third Man is Greene?s brilliant recreation of post-war Vienna. Rollo Martins, a second-rate novelist, arrives penniless to visit his friend and hero, Harry Lime. But Harry has died in suspicious circumstances, and the police are closing in on his associates.
The Fallen Idol is the chilling story of a small boy caught up in the games adults play. Left in the care of the
butler and his wife while his parents go on holiday, Philip realizes too late the danger of lies and deceit. But the truth is even deadlier.
