A thriller from "the Australian Edgar Wallace" with a Spanish Civil War setting - a tunnel to Africa under the Straits of Gibraltar, Colonel Ormiston of the Secret Service investigates. "One of the best of the many novels that have recently been written about secret political movements and the villains behind them" (Daily Mirror, 4th February 1937 of the original Collins edition). Crown 8vo (20cm). [ii],252,[ii]pp - including integral endpapers. Original green cloth, blocked and lettered in gilt; spine lettering a touch dulled; edges somewhat spotted, but a very good and sound copy in the original pictorial dust-jacket - just very slightly nicked and chipped.
