Beschreibung

First UK Edition. Publisher's pale-purple boards with black spine lettering. Pictorial end-papers of San Cristobal. A near fine (or better) copy in like D/W lightly browned to the spine (a common fault with Gollancz yellow D/W's of this vintage). A murder mystery set in Puerto Rico which involves the murder of a Roosevelt New Dealer bent on Puerto Rican reform. The New Statesman's Review said: Mr Newton Gayle has not only hit on a perfect novelty in the way of a setting for a detective story but he has risen to the occasion and writes better than he ever wrote before, he even documents his hurricane throughout with authentic weather charts supplied by the U.S. Weather Bureau so that the reader can see from hour to hour what is coming his way". Dorothy L Sayers in the Sunday Times commented that: "his book is lively, well-constructed and important.The detective work is highly ingenious and the conclusion particularly fine". A lovely copy. Series Character: James Greer. Photographs/scans available upon request. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 355490718968
