BLACKBURN, John. Deep Among the Dead Men
BLACKBURN, John. Deep Among the Dead Men. London: Jonathan Cape. 1973. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s teal blue cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the wonderful wraparound dust jacket designed by Leigh Taylor. A good copy, the cloth bright with some bumps to the spine head and tail, evidently read with a gentle lean, slight vertical crease along backstrip. Light marks to the textblock edges, with evidence of sticker removal to the front endpaper—though no other signs of this being ex-library. A few other light marks within, else clean. The dust jacket price-clipped, gently bumped and rubbed along the corners and spine tips with a couple of small closed tears, but still presentable.
Blackburn’s second novel in the Bill Easter sequence, in which one-time gangster and rogue-among-rogues, Easter, tangles with an insane and brutal doctor-dictator and his gruesome SS henchman—former SS officers being a regular intruder in the series—in a fictional West African paradise.
