First edition. 8vo. Original dark orange boards. Dust-jacket, priced £1.75.
The fourth & final of Diment’s spy novels featuring Philip McAlpine, before the author disappeared from public view. Critic Anthony Boucher described McAlpine as “an agent who smokes hashish, leads a highly active sex life, kills vividly, uses (or even coins) the latest London slang and still seems a perfectly real (and even oddly likeable) young man rather than a reflected Bond image.”
