London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1951

8vo, pp. 224. Original burgundy boards, lettered in black to spine. Illustrated dust jacket. Offsetting to endpapers, otherwise a fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with just a little darkening to rear panel.

First edition. A Tommy Hambledon story.

Fictional British Intelligence officer Tommy Hambledon's adventures were based on Cyril Coles' own wartime experiences as a spy working behind enemy lines, although by the time of this, the thirteenth instalment, critics thought the formula was wearing thin.

An attractive copy.
