It's a book written a few decades ago. Adventure. About a man who tries to kill a dictator (implicity Hitler, but not specified). Book starts with the man having been caught and hung from his fingers on a cliff and then falling. He escapes (hides from agents in England). There is a gruesome part with a cat being stuffed into his hidey holes ventilation shaft. Then he invents a cross bow and kills the man.

I've never seen the movie, but my Dad had and liked the movie ending better. It has the guy getting on an airplane with a rifle...Comment

Do you like British adventure novels? I read a much slower paced one, but very enjoyable called THE RIDDLE OF THE SANDS, while I was laid up with my knee. I'm also into Josephine Tey. And Lewis and Rowling.Comment

"The riddle of the sands" is another good one, but I think a lot of those early British ones haven't aged well. I'm more into the 60's and 70's thrillers, particularly Desmond Bagley.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment
