Bergonzi, A Study in Greene, p. 69 To avoid distraction, he rented a room in Bloomsbury from a landlady who lived in an apartment below him. He used that apartment in the novel (it's where D. hides for a day) and had an affair with the landlady's daughter. West, The Quest for Graham Greene, p. 87 He wrote the book for money Reid, Movie Mystery and Suspense, p. 81 and was so displeased with his work that he wanted it published under a pseudonym.
