A Time to Kill.
Boston, MA: Little, Brown and Company, 1951. [Spy Novel] FIRST EDITION, first impression. Octavo (20 x 14cm), pp.[6]; 154. Publisher's red cloth lettered in black to spine, illustrated dust-jacket with the drawing by Lew Keller and the printed price of $2.50 to front flap. Rolling to crown and base of spine, soiling to white of jacket, some creasing to base edge of back cover. Fine. Colonel Roger Taine (the hero previously seen in 'A Rough Shoot') has dreams of living the quiet life; however Pink discovers a plot to infect all British cattle with the deadly hoof-and-mouth disease. Together, Taine and Pink must 'struggle against communist agents', piece together the clues, and battle against the clock to save the day. A classic spy novel and a lovely copy. Item #70502
