Conquest knows about it yet he fails to intervene. The next morning - MURDER! - Superintendent Williams is set on arresting the trouble-hunting Conquest, or a ruthless and cold-blooded killing. In getting himself out of the trap, conquest obeys one of his inspired hunches. At that point things start to happen---' ***(Quotes taken from front and back covers) ***First impression of the extremely hard to find first paperback edition of "Target for Conquest" by Berkeley Gray (pen name of Edwy Searles Brooks), featuring his detective, Norman Conquest.
