First edition, first printing. Publisher's original purple cloth with orange titles to the spine, in the John Dugan illustrated dustwrapper. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and tight, the contents clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper which is a touch faded to the spine. Not price-clipped (12s 6d net to the front flap). An attractive example.
The sixth and final novel by this pioneering novelist of the underworld. The story of an honest burglar, a Teddy boy and an I. R. A. man who break out of prison.
