The Daughter of the Hawk

[minor shelfwear to bottom edge, bumping to top corners, age-toning to top edge of text block; jacket shows some wear and minor paper loss at corners, short closed tear and associated wrinkling/creasing at bottom of front panel, a couple of tiny edge-tears at top of rear panel]. Reprint of the American (Bobbs-Merrill) edition of this early Forester work, under the "Modern Reprint Library" imprint. It's an adventure tale concerning "Henry Dawkins, Englishman and loafer, of a family of pawnbrokers," and how his involvement with a South American rebel leader ("The Hawk" of the title) earns him a "year of torture digging phosphate on a convict island." He escapes from the prison and returns to a quiet life in an English village, with The Hawk's daughter as his ward. Originally published in England in 1928 as "The Shadow of the Hawk."
