Once a Spy

This one features a former spy who gets caught up in the repercussions of a much earlier operation, and "tells an engaging tale of smuggling, graft, blackmail and revenge" (a serving from four of the main thriller ingredients -- although murder, the boss of them all, also plays more than a minor role). Charcoal cloth w/gilt lettering/device to spine, 245 pages. Slightly cocked, lightly tanned, in dust jacket w/light edgewear, impressions, minor crease to top right corner of front flap, full-length vertical crease to edge of rear flap. Size: Small octavo.
