First UK edition. Price still on dustjacket. Very light tanning of what is otherwise a fine book. Once again, Francis proves that for sheer narrative pace and ingenuity of plot, he is second to none. “Alexander Kinloch, artist, has worked out a good pattern for his life. His home is a small bothy on a remote mountain in Scotland; he paints on commission, from which he derives both pleasure and a decent income; he lives alone and likes it. One day, however, Alexander’s peace is violently shattered when he returns home to find a group of strangers waiting for him. After a scuffle, he is left for dead with only the wind and the words ‘Where is it?’ ringing in his ears. And the days that follow contain more danger than he could ever have imagined…” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
