Near fine, 1st edition, clipped d/j (v.g. in protective sleeve); orange boards, gilt spine titling bright; text block firm (but slight forward lean), pages unmarked and crisp.. 8vo: crown (200 x 140 / 8"" x 5_""). Quiller is called back from his vacation in France by the secretive London Bureau. He is asked to take on a mission that seems strangely undefined. Quiller learns that there is an international terrorist strike being planned -- at least 3 agents with the Bureau have died trying to gain information on this terrorist strike. All that is certain is that this group will not hesitate to kill anyone who seems even remotely on their trail. Quiller's task is to infiltrate this group through a series of disguises.
