About This Item
New York: William Morrow and Company. Very Good in Good dj. 1957. First American Edition. Hardcover. [spine slightly turned, minor bumping to lower corners, a little dust-soiling to top of text block, tiny stain on fore-edge; jacket faded at spine, missing about 1.5" inches from bottom of spine, 2-inch split at lower front flap-fold, several other nicks and small tears]. "An exciting novel about an American newspaperman fighting for his 'big story' in the turbulence of Italian political intrigue," this was West's fourth published novel (the third under his own name). Also published in the U.K. under the title "The Big Story," it preceded his breakthrough best-seller "The Devil's Advocate" by a couple of years. The 1965 film adaptation, starring Robert Ryan and Stewart Granger, although it was a British film, used the American title. The book has been frequently reprinted in paperback under both its titles, but this edition is notably scarce. .
