Item description from seller

280 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter beige cloth with silver lettering to spine over purple boards in original pictorial jacket. First American edition. In a desolate alley on the bank of the Thames, a spy slips through the shadows. Mungo is the Director General of English intelligence, and he knows Moscow Centre has been watching him for weeks, but there is no spy in London better at losing a tail. Satisfied he hasnt been followed, he drops off his message and disappears into the night. Its a classic scene of Cold War espionage, save for one detail: Mungo isnt a spy at all. Hes a teenager, playing an epic game of make-believe. John Creevey, still reeling from the implosion of his marriage, is dreaming of taking revenge against his wifes lover when he discovers one of Mungos coded signals. Unaware that the message is simply part of a childs game, he becomes obsessed with uncovering the rest of the spy networka tragic misunderstanding that threatens to turn this imaginary war into something very realand very deadly. Condition: Jacket price clipped else near fine in like jacket.
