First UK edition with a full 1-9 number sequence indicating a first printing. Price still on dustjacket. Comes complete with the publisher’s publicity handout. “It’s twenty years after the ‘new’ Battle of Britain, and rationing is still in force. Because of rampant global warming, a massive tax has been imposed on carbon-based fuels. now with aviation fuel costing more than vintage champagne, commercial jets can no longer afford to ply the world’s airways, and their place has been taken by giant, eco-friendly dirigibles. Our hero, Jack Lindsay, is a private investigator of the old school – hard-nosed, hard-boiled and hard-drinking. If he has a weakness, apart from his fondness for garibaldi biscuits, it is for a woman with a sob story… and one has just walked into his office, and into his life.” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
