About the Author:
George Sims (1923-1999) was an antiquarian bookseller and unorthodox writer who wrote highly popular thrillers with cleverly woven narratives.
Review:
"First published in 1967, this entry in the British Library Classic Thrillers series does a splendid job of evoking London in the mid-'60s, both swinging and decidedly criminal...Sims (1923-1999) takes the reader on a journey to a long-gone world where entire streets of London were devoted to the trade of rare books - items valuable enough to attract the most nefarious of mobsters. Sims captures the mood of these places with an insider's knowledge, while keeping the brief novel moving with a plot that travels all over London, a city at both the end and beginning of an era." (Publishers Weekly)
