1957ref. 355490719342London: Robert Hale 1957. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. First UK Edition. Publisher's black boards with title author and publisher in green and publisher's logo in silver to the spine. A bookseller's ticket to the front paste-down and just a touch of foxing to the page block edges otherwise a VG copy in like D/W. A very nice copy indeed. In the 1950's Robert Hale was primarily a library supplier hence why this publisher's first editions are so difficult to find in such nice shelvable condition. The novel features Tony Pearson a failed professional golfer in a novel that ticks all the noir boxes with frenetic pace and noir atmosphere laid on with a trowel in a tightly-constructed dark and paranoid entertaining novel famous for its golf content. A rare find indeed. Scans/photographs available upon request. Robert Hale hardcover
