Not price clipped (18s), no personal inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a reasonable copy. 184pp. 'The Assassination Bureau, Ltd' was begun by American author Jack London (1876-1916), and finished long after his death by thriller writer Robert L. Fish (1912-81). The plot follows Ivan Dragomiloff, who, in a twist of fate, finds himself pitted against the secret assassination agency he founded. The novel was based on an idea London purchased from author Sinclair Lewis (Elmer Gantry) in early 1910. London wrote 20,000 words on the novel before he gave it up later that same year, saying he could not find a logical way to conclude it. He died leaving the book unfinished. The Assassination Bureau, Ltd. will assassinate evildoers, for example, corrupt police commissioners, legislators, politicians, etc.; but will not act unless convinced that the target truly is worthy of assassination. In 1963, mystery writer Fish completed the novel based on the unfinished manuscript with additional notes by London and an ending outline done by London's wife Charmian shortly before her death in 1955. Quite a scarce book.
