Eric Amblerâs 1938 novel Epitaph for a Spy is a perfect example of his distinctive approach to spy fiction. Amblerâs heroes were not professional spies but ordinary people caught up in the dangerous web of espionage. They do not thereby metamorphose into brave and noble heroes.
In the early 20th century, novels by Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad and Erskine Childers featured spying, but the first and best truly modern spy writing was Somerset Maughamâs Ashenden (1928), based on his wartime experiences.
