A Henri Castang Mystery - Replete with the volatile tensions of a political thriller, Freeling introduces the reader to the nebulous, frightening world of conspiracy.

About the Author
Born in London in 1927, Nicolas Freeling is the author of over thirty titles, many of which are part of the crime genre. His education was broad and he attended a series of schools in England, Ireland and France. He served in the Royal Air Force, and from 1950 worked at various jobs in kitchens, hotels and restaurants throughout Europe. It was this intimate knowledge of the continent that influenced the style and settings of his subsequent books. The first of these was published in 1961. He is best known for the creation of Inspector Piet Van der Valk, an irascible detective engaged in ordinary crime, political intrigue and international affairs. Freeling is married, has four sons and one daughter and currently resides in France.

Illustrated dustwrapper with yellow and white coloured titles to the front panel and backstrip. Illustrated portrait of the author to the rear dustwrapper panel. "The country of Twilight lies, it is said in France, 'between dog and wolf'. The real becomes unreal  and the more sinister. In this indistinctness of truth and ideals to say becomes horrible and the comic leans towards black darkness. This is a novel about the twilight ways taken by money, by politics, by religion. It is about society, which is criminal, and is dust a crime novel." -- from the front fold over panel blurb. Softening to the backstrip and lower book corners.
