埃里克•安布勒 Eric Ambler（1909-1998） 爱伦•坡终身大师奖得主，被英国《卫报》誉为“现代悬疑小说之父”。 1917年，安布勒曾亲眼目睹西尔弗顿军火库毁于50吨TNT，这样的经历为安布勒的写作生涯埋下伏笔。 在如此残酷的战争环境中成长，安布勒成了善恶两极分化的见证者，他的作品总能真实还原世界大战爆发时人性的扭曲。 20世纪30年代，以安布勒为代表的的悬疑小说家，创立了以现实主义为主要特征的现代间谍小说，而《双面恶魔》更是其中的佼佼者。 本书情节扣人心弦，利用战争的大背景一步步把悬疑气氛推到极致。读者可以看到一个无恶不作、神秘莫测的犯罪大师，在暗杀、战争、种族清洗、政治阴谋中，将人性的复杂展现得淋漓尽致，引人入胜。
