CODE OF ARMS

This book is something of a departure for Mystery Grand Master Block, who has only occasionally collaborated with other authors, but also because it is a spy thriller, set in 1940 with England and Germany at war. It features Ted Campbell, an American pilot and aircraft designer, the pacificst son of a WWI ace, with family in England and plane-building plants in Germany, trying to maintain his neutrality and failing as is he drawn into the shadowy world of espionage. Boards show some minor shelfwear along bottom edges and spine, with a small "shadow" on the inside front cover where a sticker was apparently removed, o/w boards and text are clean, tight, square; white dustjacket shows minor edgewear and some light soiling on back panel; no significant tears or chipping. A collectable copy of a quite scarce Block.
