Acts of mutiny - Hardcover
On an ocean liner travelling to Australia in 1959, a young boy witnesses a courtship between two passengers which begins to unsettle the others aboard. In the hold, beyond where the dogs and cats and mynah bird are kept, squats a far more sinister cargo - a nuclear-arms shipment.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. "Flashes of memory are glittering, dangerous things. Ralph was a young boy when, in 1959, he travelled to Australia on an ocean liner with his mother and her smooth-talking lover, Mr Chaunteyman. It is this voyage - from its first storm-tossed days in the Bay of Biscay, on through the Med, the Suez Canal stretched between deserts, the Indian Ocean, the Spice Islands, Colombo and beyond - that forms the core of Ralph's strange tale." A near fine copy of a first edition, first impression hardback in a near fine, unclipped dustjacket. All books are swathed in biodegradable bubble wrap and posted in strong, custom made book boxes to ensure undamaged delivery. Seller Inventory # 000842
