DARK HERO

First edition, first printing. Original yellow cloth lettered in green to the spine, in dustwrapper. A better than very good copy, the binding square and firm, the limp, economy standard boards are a touch bowed, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents with mild toning of the paper stock are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that remains without loss. Not price-clipped (8s. 6d. net to the front flap). A nice copy.

Cheyney's twenty-fifth novel, a thriller deftly shifting between 1930s Chicago, wartime Norway, London and Germany. (Hubin).
