Judgment on Deltchev
Judgment on Deltchev is a 1951 novel by Eric Ambler. It was his first solo novel for eleven years (not counting a novel written with Charles Rodda under the pseudonym Eliot Reed), and Ambler was worried about producing a bad novel, but did not. The book is a courtroom drama based on the show trial of Bulgarian politician Nikola Petkov. It provoked hostile responses from Communist fellow travellers.
