About this Item

First edition, first impression. Some edge wear, chipping and short closed tears to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners and folds slightly rubbed, spine slightly faded and scratched, some slight spotting to page fore edges, slight lean, not price clipped (14s), no inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg copy for its age. 256pp. Gentle, bland, scheming Mr Hammersley thought he was on to a good thing, until Simon Good emerged from the yellow fog to remind him of an alcoholic confidence made in the dim and distant past. 'Roag's Syndicate' is not drenched in the blood of terribly mutilated victims, nor are they filled with juvenile delinquents. Instead nice, comfortable adult delinquents. From an Anglo American insurance company in Fetter Lane, the action moves from Temple Station via New Scotland Yard, down to St Ives, along the colourful waterways of Amsterdam, right into the dock, at the Central Criminal Court. By forgotten British thriller writer George Davis.
