Ambler, Eric Doctor Frigo
New York Atheneum 1974 First Edition Cloth SIGNED by the Author
Very Good+ in a Very Good+ dustjacket. Blue and mustard-yellow cloth. Both the spine and the front panel are stamped in gilt. Octavo. Red topstain and endpapers. 311pps. Stated First Edition. There is a slight lean to the spine and mild bumping to the spine-ends, otherwise clean, bright, and soundly bound. The textblock is immaculate; no previous ownership markings.

"...The narrator is Robert Halliday, an American ghostwriter with good reason to dislike both the CIA and the Iraqis. He is blackmailed by Zander, a shadowy international middleman, into helping broker a delicate negotiation between NATO and the 'Ruler,' a Persian Gulf sheik of great power and questionable sanity. But if time is running out for the 'Ruler,' is is also taking care of Zander, who, as the novel unfolds, turns out to have more than one interest at stake..."
