Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Near Fine jacket. Book 1st American edition, so stated, with complete number line beginning with 1. Near fine in near fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. British private eye Ron Hogget returns ( Dead Ernest ), who finds things for a living, takes on a seemingly impossible tasklocating an airplane lost some 40 years previously. A host of standard, well-proven attention-getting devices obtrudes a bit, but not without a certain glitter. As it turns out, the missing craft carried ex-Nazis escaping with stolen Jewish gems/gold, despite the alleged honesty of the pilots. The guilt of ill-gotten gain now affects Ron, who encounters various thieves, thugs, and murderers. Slick, sure-fire action, romantic sidelines, and British surroundings distinguish this amusing adventure.
