A little about the story

Tommy and Tuppence turn a plan to earn money into a search for a missing woman and a document wanted by powerful people.

The two friends bring different kinds of nerve to a case in which names and loyalties change as quickly as the leads. Their talk and the decisions they make under pressure keep the suspense lively even when they are working apart.
