Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 196 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's black cloth with silver lettering to spine in original jacket. First edition. The odd and troubling events at the outset of Neil Kelly's working vacation in Devon are balanced by the pleasure of unexpected reencounter with Gus Van Duren, a boyhood friend, in the local club. But the peace of their English village is shattered with the discovery of the Van Durens' murdered infant awash in the red toy boat that was his godfather Kelly's baptismal present. To Neil's further horror, he learns that the death of the child was merely a sadistic by-blow in an attempted theft of Neil's late father's notebooks. Although Commander Kelly's "scientific" discoveries were laughed at in his lifetime, some very powerful people seem to be taking them seriously now.
