About This Item
NY: Doubleday, 1976. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. A Scotland Yard procedural with the New York Mafia moving in on a pair of psychotic London supercriminals, the Magnus cousins, modeled on the infamous real-life Kray twins, Ronnie and Reggie. The lead is Detective Inspector Derek Torry, a lapsed Catholic whose fiancee dumps him because of his guilts (he hasn't bedded her once in their two-year engagement). Soon Torry is making it with Jenny, a suspect in a triple bomb-murder, whose former boyfriend was arrested at Dover for smuggling 150 pounds of heroin into the country in his Bentley (she tipped the coppers). Vendettas explode left and right. Clean copy. Record # 385500
