A strange story, told by indirection, as Jane Waring, through recurrent interviews with a mysterious Mr. Small who is trying to get from her all she can give him of her knowledge of Mark Bradley, tells Brad's story, as she knows it. In complete darkness as to Small's purpose, Jane withholds many connecting links, impressions, emotional overtones and undertones - telling only what each question involves. Bit by bit the pieces fall into place and her willingness to let things take their course - achieve the desired results, as Hiroshima and the news release of the secret of the Manhattan Project gives Brad the final release from horror and tension that has held him through the years. Good reading. The plot itself is an original one, and the story proves again Hilton's gift as a tale spinner.
