Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. First U.K. Edition, First Printing. Octavo with black boards in black and orange jacket; 214 pages; 23 cm. "Abandoning his series-hero Roger Levin (The Caribbean Account, etc.) and dropping his hip/cute mannerisms, talented suspense-man Furst has produced his best novel yet: a twisty, oblique, ironic tale of the "private sector" intelligence business. Guyer, dumped by the CIA in 1977, has gone into the spy business for himself--teaming up with computer-whiz List, a flashy Vietnam-vet and ex-drug-addict, to specialize in providing look-alikes on demand. (Their computer, programmed with thousands of photos from yearbooks and periodicals, can match faces.) And his newest case is a big one: an anonymous client is willing to pay $40,000 for the brief services of someone with a close resemblance to fugitive-terrorist Raoul Delatte. Will the double be in danger? Absolutely not, Guyer is assured by middle-man Benauti. So Guyer & Co. track down a Delatte double--a Wisconsin shoe-salesman--and persuade him (for a $10,000 fee) to cooperate. But, on the weekend of the mission, Guyer's worst fears are soon realized: a man "identified as Delatte" dies in a car-crash explosion; Benauti disappears; Guyer, left with the shoe-salesman's death on his conscience, hires a fat manhunt-genius to track Benauti down. . . while disturbing questions arise. Could this disastrous operation have anything to do with Francis Mains--Guyer's old CIA nemesis, now a private-intelligence tycoon who wants to acquire Guyer's outfit? Could there be a leak in Guyer's office: the unstable List. . . or the impassive, super-competent, matronly programmer? And after Benauti is located (with help from that face/photo computer), Guyer puts it all together, quits the business, and opts for retirement with earthy new-love Maggie--but a dandy final twist leaves the way open for Guyer's return to action. Offbeat characters, convincing dirty-trick details, and an intriguing plot that never dazzles but also never exasperates: quirky, grimly atmospheric suspense for the genre's more sophisticated following" ??Publisher. Originally published in New York by Delacorte, 1983. Fine in near fine jacket; now in archival mylar. N° de réf. du vendeur 105473

Hardcover. First Ed UK, so stated. First Ed UK, so stated. Very Near Fine in Very Near Fine DJ: Both book and DJ show only minute indications of use. Book shows barely discernible spine lean; the binding remains perfectly secure; text clean. DJ shows only the mildest rubbing; price unclipped; mylar-protected. Overall, very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 214pp. Hardback with DJ. This is the last installment, the fourth, of Alan Furst's first phase. Soon he would be immersed in the shadows and espionage of pre-WWII Europe. These works are, nevertheless, the works of a masterful craftsman. Shadow Trade is a damn fine read. Suspenseful, with splendid charactor development and wit. If this book were to be rewritten w/today's technological advancements, it'd be a best-seller. Alan Furst (born February 20, 1941) is an American author of historical spy novels. Furst has been called "an heir to the tradition of Eric Ambler and Graham Greene," whom he cites along with Joseph Roth and Arthur Koestler as important influences. Most of his novels since 1988 have been set just prior to or during the Second World War and he is noted for his successful evocations of Eastern Europe peoples and places during the period from 1933 to 1944. Writing in the New York Times, the novelist Justin Cartwright says that Furst, who lives in Sag Harbor, Long Island, "has adopted a European sensibility." Awarded a Fulbright teaching fellowship in 1969, Furst moved to Sommières, France, outside of Montpellier, and taught at the University of Montpellier. He later lived for many years in Paris, a city that he calls "the heart of civilisation" which figures significantly in all his novels. In 2011, the Tulsa Library Trust in Tulsa, Oklahoma selected Furst to receive its Helmerich Award, a literary prize given annually to honor a distinguished author's body of work.
