Inscribed by O'Flaherty on the front free endpaper: "To J. Dixon with affectionate regards from Liam O'Flaherty /6/4/28" Notably well preserved, this copy with the gilt morocco armorial bookplate of "Beach" ("Tout en Bonne Heure"). The dust jacket illustration is a triumph of 1920s design, with the madness of the monomaniacal assassin depicted by a brain as a mess of gears emanating dark energy.
