Bright, clean copy. "Michael Howell: Man in the middle -- of Terror . . .
Howell was utterly apolitical and genetically programmed for survival; a Levantine mongrel of armenian, Lebanese, Greek Cypriot, Syrian and 'fractionally British' blood who possessed profitable business enterprises throughout the Middle East and an Italian mistress who doubled as an office manager. Life was sweet for Michael Howell until, one night in Damascus, he discovered that his factories had become the clandestine operations base of the Palestine Action Force -- a fanatical guerrilla terrorist organization dead-set on destroying Israel . . ."

| 4. | Ambler, Eric The Schirmer Inheritance
New York Alfred A Knopf 1953 Book Club (BCE/BOMC) Hard Cover Very Good Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Carlu, Jean [cover]
Corners slightly bumped, boards have some small spots, webbing showing at title page. DJ has very minor edgewear. Text is clean and unmarked. "It all began when Amelia Schneider Johnson died with over three million dollars in bonds in a tin trunk underneath her bed. The search for a relative wove its way through eight thousand claims only to lose itself in Nazi Germany at the beginning of the war. Then in 1950 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania decided to attach the estate, and Messrs. Lavater, Powell & Sistrom sent George Carey to Europe to find a dead man. What he found was an interpreter who still hated Germans, a priest who was holding something back, a Greek guerrilla who wouldn't talk, and a strange trail that led from Stuttgart to Yugoslavia before it came to its entirely unexpected end."
