About This Item
New York: William Morrow, 1970. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. First edition, first printing. Inscribed by Ross Thomas on the front flyleaf. When Lucifer Dye is released from three months in a Hong Kong prison, debriefed, handed a false passport, a new wardrobe, and a $20,000 check, his haughty control makes it clear that Dye's career with his country has been permanently terminated. But a good agent is always in demand, and just a few hours later Dye is being interviewed for a highly ingenious position. Octavo. Original black paper-covered boards over a white cloth spine, with black and red titles. A very good or better copy in a lightly edgeworn dust jacket.
