New York: Ballantine Books, (1952).

First edition: Hardcover issue (H 3).

A near fine copy; in a near fine, wraparound illustrated dust jacket with a small chip to the lower spine, and modest shelf wear.
Front flap price of $1.50 still intact.

Cold War thriller involving a Russian agent who is sent to America on a mission to recruit a noted scientist for research on Soviet biological warfare.

Although a relatively common "Ballantine hardcover" issue, of the dozen or so copies we have handled this is the first one we have seen without the usual spine fading.

Scarce thus!
