Nat Stone is one of the world's most sought-after computer experts. With the backing of his father-in-law's capital, he was known only success and has a happy home life. When his wife, Helen, and their two children, disappear mysteriously en- route to their holiday destination in southern France, his world is turned upside down. Within weeks he finds himself chief suspect in a Paris murder case, and, allowed back to Britain only under the watchful eye of the police, he soon succumbs to his weaknesses - the charms of other women and finds solace in the bottle. With painful slowness, the authorities finally establish that Helen has been abducted by the Russians, but when Nat finally makes contact with her at a computer fair in Berlin he discovers that she has been brainwashed into a Communist way of thinking. Subsequently events only prolong Nat's nightmare. Almost Scarlet is full of excitement and incident and the unexpected twists in the plot are guaranteed to absorb the reader until the very last page.
