About This Item
London: Collins, 1970. Provence is the setting for Alistair MacLean's latest thriller.... Provence at the time of the annual pilgrimage to Saint-Maries of gypies from all over Europe, even from behind the Iron Curtain. The Duc de Croyer, distinguished folklorist and gastronome, is there of course. So is the Englishman Neil Bowman, for no apparent cause. But something is different about this year's pilgrimage. A small group of gypsies has something they are determined to hide and Bowman soon learns that curiosity is highly dangerous....before long he is on the run for his life. From the terror of murder during the Provencal cours-libre in the bull ring to an exciting action sequence out at sea, the pace keeps up, the MacLean magic never falters. Green cloth boards. Gilt title print to spine. No ownership markings. A lovely fresh copy, bright and handsome in an illustrated, price-clipped dust jacket designed by Norman Weaver. This copy is in "collector" condition.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine.
