This is a great vintage chase/suspense type novel that I happened upon by accident. I'm glad I did. Most of the action takes place in Ireland as an unsuspecting math professor has microfilm planted on him. The author writes with wit and humor about this bungling professor. If you enjoy vintage detective novels, you will find this a fun read from the 1960s.
A good read

This is an enjoyable book with an engaging main character. Professor Foley is rumpled and fuzzy, with a tendency to run to fat, but he knows his own mind and he won't let people walk all over him. The little mathematics professor's life is turned upside down when he inherits a castle in Ireland, and he has to deal with thugs, spies, and a pretty Irish lass, with some help from his best friend Oscar, a vigorous chemistry professor, before he can get his life right side up again. All in all, a good read.
