Madame Spy by Bruce Graeme Dust Jacket Only Early Reprint Quality Press c.1935. Paper backing to verso. VG. 

In this brisk espionage thriller, Bruce Graeme (pseudonym of Graham Montague Jeffries) plunges readers into a web of wartime intrigue and marital mistrust. Renowned war correspondent David Bannister, fresh from global hotspots, impulsively marries the alluring Joan, a mysterious beauty he encounters in a neutral port. As they jet between London, Berlin, and Lisbon amid rising European tensions, Joan's enigmatic behaviors—coded telegrams, clandestine meetings, and evasive alibis—arouse suspicions among David's sharp-eyed colleagues at the press bureau. Is she a seductive siren or the elusive "Madame Spy," funneling secrets to Axis powers? Bannister, torn between love and duty, embarks on a clandestine probe, dodging shadowy tailing, forged passports, and a near-fatal ambush in a Riviera casino. Graeme's punchy prose and globe-trotting pace blend romantic suspense with timely paranoia, culminating in a twisty revelation that redefines allegiance.

As a standalone from Graeme's prolific canon—bridging his Blackshirt adventures to WWII-era thrillers—it captures interwar anxieties over fifth columns, appealing to fans of Eric Ambler or early Greene. Its rarity, with limited printings and fragile bindings, makes it a thrilling acquisition for enthusiasts of pre-Bond espionage, offering a snapshot of 1930s pulp intrigue amid the shadow of impending war.
