The Mask of Dimitrios is a 1939 novel by Eric Ambler. In the United States it was published as A Coffin for Dimitrios. [1] The book is sometimes regarded as Ambler's finest, [2] however this is disputed. [3] Ambler's discussions with Turkish exiles in Montparnasse provided some of the inspiration for the book. [2]
Ambler's best-known works are probably The Mask of Dimitrios (1939) (published in the US under the title A Coffin for Dimitrios), which was made into a film in 1944, and The Light of Day (1962), filmed in 1964 as Topkapi. He was also a successful screenwriter and lived in Los Angeles in his later years.
