The House Next Door
A husband looking for a new house for him and his wife comes across the perfect place: it's big, beautiful, in a nice neighborhood, the owner is "motivated" and the asking price is far less than it's really worth. Seeing a chance to get a real bargain, the husband quickly buys the house. Then he finds out why the former owner was so anxious to leave--a notorious gangster has moved into the house next door, and he has so many enemies that living in the house next to him can be bad for your health.
Episode 7 • Nov 28, 1963
The Fifth Passenger
The story is based on a naval officer, who is investigating a leak of military secrets from a naval base in Devon, England. The investigating officer finds the leak to emanate from a respected officer, with a distinguished record in WW2. Set in the early 1960's it is a complex tale, which follows a cat and mouse chase of the through London, and, later, the actions of the spying officer's friend, who is asked to assist him. There's a healthy dose of "love interest" in the shape of the delightfully described Jane Day, who later turns out to be on the side of the of those chasing the spy.

The spy's actions are explained by his recollections of the deaths of soldiers during WW2, which lead him to become convinced that world peace was only obtainable by following the Communist cause. Friendships are tested to the limits and eventually the spy's friend, whose trust and respect for his former commanding officer, who had saved his life during the war, has to face the reality that his former commander really is a spy.

I have not seen the televised version, and this synopsis is based on my repeated reading and re-reading of the book; so much so that I had to buy another copy! Might I recommend that those of you who are readers of either John le Carre and Len Deighton give this book a try!

If the televised version is available on DVD or video I should appreciate any details of where I could obtain a copy.
