Very Good Paperback Text/BRAND NEW w/trace margin discoloratio. Softcover/Good; sound w/edge & surface wear, and soiling to front & back. 1929 debut novel of English novelist and playwright Henry Graham Greene (1904 - 1991). The title is taken from a sentence in Sir Thomas Browne's Religio Medici: 'There's another man within me that's angry with me.'

Andrews informs on his fellow smugglers and, is targeted by them in revenge. Cowardly and untrustworthy? Where resides one's self respect?
