First Edition. Octavo. 76 Pages. Inscribed by the author to Robert von Berg. The author was a diplomat in Czechoslovakia who fled when the Nazi's took power. His deeply psychological novel deals with a diplomat who after fleeing to America become caught up in a New York world of power brokers who contrive and perhaps spy to create a nightmare for its victim.
