(no dust jacket) [spine turned, fading to spine cloth, spine lettering dulled/rubbed, a little array of indentations at the left edge of the front cover; bookplate of Hollywood writer-producer Carey Wilson on front pastedown, vintage bookseller's label (Unity Pegues, Hollywood, California) on rear pastedown]. Novel about a young Irishman who escapes from a British internment camp following the Irish Civil War and makes his way to the United States, from where he plots a political assassination, eventually returning to Dublin in disguise to carry out his mission. The novel had its inspiration in the assassination of the Irish Free State government minister Kevin O'Higgins, which was carried out by the IRA in 1927 as revenge for the minister's role in the executions of dozens of IRA prisoners during the civil war.
