Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House, [1960]. First edition. Corners and spine ends a little bruised, a nearly fine copy in a very good dust jacket with mild wear to spine ends and corner tips, closed tear to upper rear flap fold, mild fade to orange background ink of spine panel, upper front panel shows indent from where paperclips once held something, indents visible on front panel from a note having been written over top. (31242). Octavo, boards. Winner of Mystery Writers Edgar Award for best first novel 1960. "In the Ambler tradition of plunging an innocent bystander into the thick of international finagling, it involves an American engineer in the passage of arms to Algerian rebels. Ingenious in action, vivid in local color, it brings off the rare trick of presenting a hero who is admirably resourceful physically and mentally without any hint of the irritating and incredible superman." - Anthony Boucher, NY Times, April 10, 1960. Hewett and Mallett, The Work of Jack Vance, A10.
