About This Item
London: World Books, 1971. 1st thus. hardback. Very good, 1st thus edition (publ with Anthony Blond in 1970), unclipped d/j (fair, chipped and torn, in protective sleeve); red boards, gilt spine titling bright; text block firm, pages unmarked but browned.. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). A darkly compelling novel of the single-minded pursuit of justice and of a man whose major crime was seeing all too clearly the shape of the war that was to come and how it would destroy the very monarch that it was his duty to protect. It presents in vivid and unforgettable detail, a world of charm and enchantment facing disaster and is a brilliant dstudy of the inflexibile reasoning of men who would murder for ita nd who would, within the decade, see it crumble and disappear.
