PRETTY SINISTER by Francis Beeding Boston: Little, Brown, and Company, 1929. First edition. Very good plus copy in grey cloth; in a tattered and worn dust jacket (see photos). The text is nice and tight and the dust jacket did a good job of protecting the cloth covers. "Here is a straightforward and exciting thriller of the first order. Realistically the scene is laid in Rome, and the story is that of an international financial gang's efforts to embroil Italy, and consequently Europe, in a new war. 'II Duce' appears, thinly disguised.and the frustration of the conspiracy by a lovable British secret agent involves him and his protege in hairbreadth escapes and thrilling adventures, all vividly told."--Daily Telegraph.
