An early thriller from the master of the genre, warmly inscribed tothe title page: "To G.W. Boyle, with the best of wishes and thanks, from Eric Ambler". Rubbed, faded cloth but pages generally very clean throughout. Bright blue endpapers. Inscribed copies of this title are very few and far between. Just like buses, you wait forever, then two come along at once.They cost the same - or do they?.
