Book Description

London: Collins Crime Club, 1954. First edition, first printing. This is a very good (or better) copy. The dust jacket has some light handling marks throughout and a small closed tear to the rear panel. The top and tail of the spine are a trifle bumped. It has not been price clipped (10s. 6d. net). The text blocks are free from foxing, if a touch toned. This copy is free from inscriptions and is, overall, in very good (or better) condition. The novel opens in Morocco, where Hilary Craven is staying after a failed marriage. She plans to commit suicide, but is instead recruited by the British secret service for a mission. She is asked to impersonate the wife of a nuclear scientist who has recently disappeared. Hilary is soon transported to meet her new "husband".
