About the Author
George Sims (1923-1999) was an antiquarian bookseller and unorthodox writer who wrote highly popular thrillers with cleverly woven narratives.
Review
"First published in 1967, this entry in the British Library Classic Thrillers series does a splendid job of evoking London in the mid-'60s, both swinging and decidedly criminal...Sims (1923-1999) takes the reader on a journey to a long-gone world where entire streets of London were devoted to the trade of rare books - items valuable enough to attract the most nefarious of mobsters. Sims captures the mood of these places with an insider's knowledge, while keeping the brief novel moving with a plot that travels all over London, a city at both the end and beginning of an era." (Publishers Weekly)
