About This Item
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart Limited, 1938. How war between two European powers was narrowly circumvented is the theme of this author. Mr. Oppenheim is at his best when he is depicting life at Monte Carlo. In this little world of wealth and nobility, he tells of Lucullen banquets, sports by day, and nights of music and dancing. There are the thrills of secret dictatorship, threatened revolt of the Reds, a spy that is a typical Oppenheim creation, sudden deaths and first-rate love interest. A complicated plot... stimulating to the very end. Decorated dark green cloth boards... bright orange title print to front board, decoration and spine. No names or inscriptions. Sporatic foxing to top edge of book. Jacket art by Raymond Thayer. This copy remains tight, bright and clean. A most respectable copy.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Poor.
