About This Item
New York: Random House, [1965]. First edition. Boards edges a little rubbed, a nearly fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with some mild rubbing mainly to edges. (14230). Octavo, boards. "...Westlake's novels under his own name, beginning with THE FUGITIVE PIGEON, had mutated into wildly humorous farces populated by a parade of indolent young men, each wanting only to "do his own thing" but propelled willy nilly or nilly willy into unlikely danger and intrigues." - Pederson (ed.): St. James Guide to Crime and Mystery Writers (4th ed.), pp. 1041.
