The Mask of Dimitrios is a 1939 novel by Eric Ambler. In the United States it was published as A Coffin for Dimitrios.[1]

The book is sometimes regarded as Ambler's finest,[2] however this is disputed.[3]

Ambler's discussions with Turkish exiles in Montparnasse provided some of the inspiration for the book.[2]

The character Charles Latimer also features in The Intercom Conspiracy.
