First edition, first impression. 244pp. Yellow cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on the spine. 8vo. Cloth a little marked and lightly bruised at spine ends. Text block edges toned and a little spotted. Pages a little creamy else internally neat, clean and tight. In its original illustrated dust wrapper, a little toned and shelf worn, lightly bumped at edges, bruised at spine ends.

Set in Rome, crime fiction novel centring on insurance fraud against an Italian prince from the award-winning biographer: his first crime novel since his debut, Gone to Timbuctoo, won the year’s most promising first novel in the 1960s. An entrancing read, and rare to meet such a well rounded and splendid rogue as Dr Avicenna.
