About this Item
Covers faintly mottled, dustwrapper slightly worn. With the (Alan Anderson, "Call me Ishmael", and Will Carter, blue) book-labels of the bookseller and crime writer George Sims and inscribed by the author, "for George Sims with the author's good wishes - a poor substitute for WMLE May '61'. "Harold Colmore holds a prominent position in an important organisation. He has a chance of becoming Secretary to the Authority, with a knighthood thrown in . . . The toppling of ordinary life when 'the sort of thing that happens to other people' happens to oneself, the relationship between father and son, at once so enduring and so tenuous, the way a man's inner life is entangled with his outer life: these things have rarely been written about with more insigh" (publisher's blurb).
