First U.S. edition. 173pp. James William Mitchell (1926-2002) was a British writer, principally of crime fiction and spy thrillers. He is probably best known as the creator of the British television series When the Boat Comes In (BBC) and Callan (Thames Television). "Callan" aired between 1967 and 1972 and starred Edward Woodward as David Callan, an agent of a state secret service dealing with internal security threats to the United Kingdom. The pilot episode was shown in 1967 under the title ' A Magnum for Schneider' and this title was used for the first UK edition of this book, based on the series.
