    Oldy but a goody
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2016*

Written in 1953, this novel features an ambitious young attorney whose first assignment, after being hired at a prestigious white shoe Philadelphia law firm, is to review the estate file of a wealthy female decedent--the Johnson-Schneider file--to see whether anyone has credibly claimed heirship, or whether the fortune should be allowed to escheat to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  Unfortunately, the case made the papers, and several hundred spurious "heirs" came forward to try to claim the fortune. It will take weeks, possibly months, to plow through all the files of people who claimed to be this woman's relative and heir, and the overwhelming likelihood is that she died without a lawful heir.  Our young lawyer is appalled that his first assignment is such pointless drudgery, until, after three weeks of plowing through the spurious claims, he finds the private file of another lawyer who previously worked on the case, just before the outbreak of WW2.  The papers show that he had a lead on a legitimate heir, but the last part of his memo to the file was written in some sort of a code.From there, the novel becomes a chase through Europe, looking for the heir, a German soldier who may or may not have survived the war.  Ambler was an outstanding writer.  This thing reads like a true story; there is nothing incredible or hard to swallow in the whole tale.  Understand that there isn't the level of sex and violence that you see in modern "thrillers" and other fiction.  But that just made it more readable and more believable.

I am a fan of all Amblers works.  The Schirmer Inheritance I found particularly well written with a very good plot.  A twisting story with surprises that continue to the end.  This book is one of my favorites from Ambler.Ambler avoids the sensationalism that is prevalent in todays spy novels.  His heroes are commonplace citizens who do not have super powers and the fate of the world is not at stake.  You are transported into the European world with an explanation of how it was during the 30's and 40's with the Nazi's rampaging the land  Their inhuman brutality keeps you hoping for a good outcome for the "good" characters.He handles the troubled and mysterious Miss Kolin especially well.
