Description
Julia Probyn, like most people, knew very little about anonymous numbered accounts in Swiss Banks. Until her cousin, Colin Munro, asked her to look into the matter of one containing a fortune for his fiancee Aglaia Armitage, left to her by her Greek grandfather. Julia - journalist, amateur sleuth, occasional spy - must learn fast.
When the account is compromised, and documents of vital interest to the British Secret Service go missing, it is again down to Julia to foil a Communist plot.
In The Numbered Account, book three in The Julia Probyn Mysteries, Ann Bridge brings her characteristic wit, suspense and sense of adventure.

Person
Ann Bridge (1889-1974), or Lady Mary Dolling (Sanders) O'Malley was born in Hertfordshire. Bridge's novels concern her experiences of the British Foreign Office community in Peking in China, where she lived for two years with her diplomat husband. Her novels combine courtship plots with vividly-realized settings and demure social satire.
Bridge went on to write novels around a serious investigation of modern historical developments. In the 1970s Bridge began to write thrillers centered on a female amateur detective, Julia Probyn, as well writing travel books and family memoirs. Her books were praised for their faithful representation of foreign countries which was down to personal experience and thorough research.
