The Chasm is a 1947 thriller novel by the British writer Victor Canning.[1] It was his first novel since the Second World War during which he had served in the Royal Artillery and was largely absent from the writing world. The novel is inspired by the events of the partisan republic of Corniolo, on the Forlì Apennines.[2] He increasingly turned to espionage and crime novels.[3] It takes place in Italy where Canning had served during the Italian campaign.[4]
