About This Item
New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1943. First U. S. edition. Slight wear to spine ends, discoloration to lower right front corner, a very good copy in a very good dust jacket with light wear to the spine ends and corner tips, some edge rubs, 25 mm closed tear and crease to the lower left front panel. (25304). Octavo, pp. [1-10] 1-240 [241-242: blank], original green cloth, front and spine stamped in dark green, fore-edge uncut. WW II espionage book. The first of the "Dark" series. "Cheyney does an excellent job of conveying the world of spying, with all its twists and double crosses. No one is what he seems, and everyone knows that; but no one is sure just what anyone else really is. Readers of John le Carré and William Haggard would recognize Cheyney's world at once." - Pronzini and Muller, 1001 Midnights, The Aficionado's Guide to Mystery and Detective Fiction, p. 136. Hubin, pp. 160-161.
