Hardcover. First edition. Octavo. 232pp. Trifle worn else fine in a lightly worn, near fine dust jacket with a faint diagonal crease on the cover. With a lengthy Inscription to noted diplomat, historian, and detective novel scholar, Robin Winks, on the front fly: "To Robin Winks, You wrote that this was my best. All I can say is what Conrad said to F.M. Ford: 'Ah, but you should have seen the idea.' [...] What I am trying to say, I suppose, is that when I think of this book, I think of missed opportunities. I think of a plot that never got to where I wanted it to go. I guess that's why I'm writing another one. Best Wishes, K. C. Constantine. 30 Oct. 1985." An excellent association and a remarkable inscription.
