I believe the book (originally published here in UK by
Jarrolds the same year) is a tie-in to the 1951-52 radio
series, The Lives of Harry Lime. Starred Orson Welles and was
a 'prequel' to the film. Produced by the independent producer
Harry Allan Towers (in UK?), only ten episodes (of the 50
plus) were broadcast by the BBC while the series was
syndicated to stations in the US. Jonquil Anthony (actually
Antony) is best known for her writing for the BBC radio soap
'Mrs Dale's Diary'. Robert Cendella and Bud Lesser were also
scriptwriters, but in US I believe. I assume a Google search
or similar will show the other names to be scriptwriters too?
I gather the series is available as downloads at
www.archive.org if anyone is interested.
