About This Item
London : Hodder & Stoughton, [1930]. First edition. "Tiny Carteret stretched out a hand like a leg of mutton and picked up the marmalade. On the sideboard what remained of the kidneys and bacon still sizzled cheerfully on the hot plate; by his side a cup of dimensions suitable for a baby's bath gave forth the fragrant smell of coffee. In short, Tiny Carteret, half-way through his breakfast ...". Rugby-playing hero ventures forth - sinister organisation based in Switzerland, compromising photographic negative, the honour of a Balkan queen, the happiness of an English duke's daughter, the security of the state, London night-clubs, Parisian hotels, murder and mayhem - "a story of thrilling adventure and ingenuity the like of which has seldom been written" (Western Mail, 14th August 1930). Crown 8vo (20cm). 320pp. Original blue cloth, ruled in black and blind, and lettered in black; a few edge spots, but a very good sharp and sound copy. Contemporary (December 1930) ownership inscription of Barbara Dunn.
