Аннотация

Guilty Bonds, says anthologist Martin H. Greenberg in Masterpieces of Mystery and Suspense, is "considered by many scholars to be the first important espionage novel," and that in and of itself should entice modern fans of the genre or of mysteries in general to read it.
An Englishman Frank Burgoyne, newly rich through inheritance, falls madly and improbably in love with a beautiful but mysterious Russian woman Vera Seroff and becomes unwittingly and unknowingly embroiled in an international plot punctuated by a series of murders. Burgoyne suffers several bewildering experiences, including incarcerations in Russia and England, and he is constantly questioning his love's motivations and fealty.
