Books

First edition. Original red cloth with gilt lettering to the spine and blind design to the upper cover. A very good copy, with some fading to the spine and minor wear to the spine ends and corners. The author's scarce third novel and one which Greene disliked so much he forbad its reprinting, a prohibition now laid upon his estate, meaning that the book cannot be reissued until 2061.

Set against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War, 'Rumour at Nightfall' is a story of love, betrayal, and the struggle for power. It follows the journey of a disillusioned British man who gets caught in the political intrigue and tumultuous landscape of 1930s Spain.
