Intent to Kill
The glaring lights above the operating table had been burning for most of the day. A man's brain lay exposed, and silent, white figures examined it and worked over it with urgent skill and care.
The surgeon poised, then lowered the scalpel to the damaged area. A barely heard moan, and the patient was unconscious.
The patient, in his own country, was an important political figure, and his opponents knew that the only chance of success for their revolt lay in taking advantage of his absence. Which was why, in a hotel elsewhere in Montreal, three men were plotting what to do in case the operation succeeded.

Another of my trawl through Fifties thrillers. Having seen the film I decided to read the book. Interesting but not earth shattering. Not the favourite of my thriller reads.
