Endpapers browned as usual; a rather nice bright copy. ¶ First edition of this exotic, fast moving and cosmopolitan thriller which begins in London: "Drawing my hand across my forehead, which was clammy with the sweat of real fear, I looked again at the river ... and by the light of a lantern on board I could make out the body of a man ... such was my first meeting with the man whom I afterwards came to know as Pharos the Egyptian." From here we leap around Europe to Egypt and back, with horror at every step. AUD 200.00 [Appr.: EURO 121.75 US$ 131.8 | £UK 103.75 | JP¥ 20633] Book number 9041is offered by:
