London: Century, 1979. First edition. Cloth. Very Good Indeed/Very Good. 8.5" by 5.5". None. A first edition of Brian Freemantle's third novel in his renowned Charlie Muffin series. Featuring the original dustwrapper. Until 1975, when Freemantle became a full-time writer, he was a foreign correspondent and editor for various newspapers, including the 'Daily Mail' and the 'Daily Sketch'. In April that year, he organised the sole British-led airlift rescue of South Vietnamese civilians during the Fall of Saigon, assisting in the evacuation of 100 orphans. In original cloth binding with unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, cloth is generally smart though with some sunning to the head and tail of the spine. Dustwrapper is a little marked with some sunning and chipping to the spine. Internally, firmly bound, bright and clean throughout, aside from the odd mark to the textblock edge. Very Good Indeed
