Do you believe in ghosts?

Post-war Vienna: Rollo Martins gets a surprise as he faces up to the real nature of his friend, Harry Lime. Read by Samuel West.

Faced with the harsh fact that his old friend Harry Lime wasn’t the hero he thought him to be, Rollo is drowning his sorrows.

Doubting he’ll ever track down the third man present at Harry’s death, or even get Harry’s girl to fall in love with him, Rollo's desperate to leave the war-torn city. But the elusive Harry Lime is about to shock him one more time….

Samuel West continues reading Graham Greene's classic thriller, which was the inspiration for the 1949 film, starring Orson Welles.
