Publication: G P Putnam's Sons, 1975, New York
First edition. Author's first book. Review copy with the slip laid-in. Fine, bright, tight copy in dust jacket with minor wear to the spine ends. A box of decaying Nazi documents are left to a small-town library and John Cooper encounters more than he bargained for----his brother is murdered, the library and courthouse are blown up, the librarian is murdered, and two attempts are made on John's life. John begins by retracing his brother's steps from South America to Europe in order to unravel the conspiracy. 20th Century Crime & Mystery Writers says, "It is distinguished, however, by the quality of the writing, the excellent descriptive passages, the superb sense of place, and the fine characterization." An exceptional copy.
