Martha Albrand was an unknown author to me, but the book looked interesting so I picked it up in a book sale. Written in 1943, it is the story of an American soldier who has been captured in Italy. He wakes up one morning to find himself in a mental hospital. The doctor and staff insist he is someone else, an Italian.

The book is described as a mystery without a murder. The doctors call him cured and release him. He finds himself in Rome, searching for a woman who has vital information for the Allies.

It was a quick, enjoyable read. ( )
