Jackal F/NF (1971) Odessa F/F (1972),Dogs F/F (1974). Jackal is price clipped.

"Often credited as the originator of a new genre, the "documentary thriller," Forsyth found sudden fame with the publication of his smash-hit best seller, The Day of the Jackal, a book that combines the suspense of an espionage novel with the detailed realism of the documentary novel, a genre first made popular by Truman Capote's In Cold Blood." Jackal won the Mystery Writers of America Edgar Allan Poe Award (1971) for Best Novel.

Praise for The Odessa File:

Meticulously researched, highly suspenseful
CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Brilliant entertainment and a disquieting book
GUARDIAN
Praise for The Dogs of War
In Ken Connor's book How to Stage a Military Coup, the author praises The Dogs of War as a textbook for mercenaries

Description:
New York: Grove Press, Inc, 1958. Very Good+ condition in a Good only dust jacket (see photos). Scarce clothbound edition, especially so in jacket. Clean, square, and tight. Sharp corners.

Pages are clean and crisp. The third book in the trilogy. Translated from the French by the author. This is the uncommon clothbound edition [it was also issued in wraps and in 3 specially bound limited editions]. This copy is in the publisher's full gray cloth, lettered in shiny gold on the spine and front cover. Federman/Fletcher 377 (cloth bound edition) in SAMUEL BECKETT, HIS WORKS.

Description:
Chatto & Windus, London, 1934. Book. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. The first English-language edition. 8vo. 295pp. Brown cloth lettered in gold at the spine and with a small gilt decoration. Cloth a little spotted and with just a trace of wear to several extremities. A touch of spotting to the endpapers and browning to a blank preliminary and concluding leaf, and the publisher's top edge stain just a little patchy. Really quite a nice, crisp copy, lacking the uncommon dust wrapper. The basis for John Huston's magnificent Bogart movie, this Creighton translation precedes Traven's own translation which he produced for the American issue (Knopf, 1935 - the author is on record stating his preference for this version)..

Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
