About this Item

First UK Edition. First UK Edition. Publisher's turquoise boards with gilt spine lettering. A near fine copy in like D/W WITH THE VERY SCARCE YELLOW WRAP-AROUND BAND announcing: "The English Author who Won/ The American Edgar Allan Poe/ Mystery Award in 1970". Scarce with the band. I have only encountered one other copy of this book - with its band - in the last 20 years. The scarce band has a darker patch with tiny area of loss. Matt Shore is a pilot down on his luck. Once he'd flown big jets and dropped supplies in war zones. Now he's ferrying high-class passengers between English race courses. But when one eventful trip ends with his plane exploding in a ball of fire, Matt knows he's not that unlucky. When the police confirm it was a bomb, Matt realises he has a problem. One of his passengers must have been the target - the question is who?" Photographs/scans available upon request. Seller Inventory # 355490719482
