After her M.A. in 1928, MacInnes continued her studies at University College, London, where she received a diploma in librarianship in 1931. While working as a librarian, MacInnes met and married the classics scholar Gilbert Highet on September 22, 1932, and they moved to New York City in 1937. She began her writing career collaborating with her husband to translate German literature, which helped finance their summer travels through Europe. These European excursions gave MacInnes the exposure to the locations which would become the exotic settings of her espionage thrillers in later years. She was also influenced by her husband’s work as an MI6 British intelligence agent. MacInnes wrote 21 espionage thrillers, four of which were later made into movies. She became a U.S. citizen in 1952.In her later books, she shifted her subject matter from World War II to the Cold War and continued to produce about one book every two years until her final novel Ride a Pale Horse (1984). Gilbert Highet died in 1978 and Helen MacInnes died in New York City on September 20, 1985.”Check out my other listings of romance books.
