About This Item
London: Robert Hale Limited, 1958. First edition. Cloth. Very Good Indeed/Very Good Indeed. 7.5" by 5". None. A first edition of Not Safe To Be Free by James Hadley Chase. "Set against the background of the fabulous Cote d'Azur and the Cannes Film Festival, James Hadley Chase's new thriller tells the story of a young degenerate with an inner compulsion to kill." "Written with the speed, force and economy of style we have come to expect from the man who has been described as 'the most remarkable among British and American thriller writers', this tense new novel throws a noose around the reader which will not be shaken off until long after the last page has been turned." In a black cloth binding in a clipped dustwrapper in an acetate protective covering. Externally, smart. Dustwrapper is generally smart, lightly rubbed in places. There are some chips and closed tears to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean with some minor age-toning Very Good Indeed
