At 2pm on a Monday in 1966, Ned Balfour wakes in Corsica beside a beautiful woman. In the same instant, back in London, fellow art dealer and Dachau survivor Sam Weiss falls ten stories to his death. Ned refuses to believe that Sam's death was intentional, and his investigation thrusts him into the deceit and fraudulence of the art world, where he unmasks more than one respectable face. First published in 1967, this thrilling tale of vertigo, suspicion and infidelity is a long-forgotten classic with an intriguing plot twist.
George Sims (1923-1999) was an antiquarian bookseller and unorthodox writer who wrote highly popular thrillers with cleverly woven narratives.

SYNOPSIS: "Had Sammy, on the towering ledge, been tempted by death. the last best friend? Sam Weiss, former inmate of Dachau, London connoisseur and dealer, had suffered from vertigo. But could that account for his crashing from the tenth storey of a Paddington block? Ned Balfour must know the truth. Sophisticated, more used to handling manuscripts and autograph letters than lantern-jawed thugs, Ned is obliged to unmask several respectable faces as he pushes his way into a world of art where force counts more than finesse. Until he too measures up to the last best friend." IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH. N° de réf. du vendeur 10569
