Corde, a Professor of Journalism and Dean at a Chicago university, faces a life-altering experience while accompanying his wife Minna, an esteemed astronomer, to Eastern Europe. Minna's mother has suffered a stroke and is hospitalized, prompting them to navigate an unfamiliar bureaucracy and adapt to life in her small apartment. As Corde supports Minna, he receives troubling news from Chicago: a student has been murdered, and family members pressure him to abandon his investigation. Additionally, articles he's writing for a magazine offend influential Chicagoans he once considered friends. A childhood companion, now a television pundit, reveals unexpected facets of Corde's character, forcing him to confront his own beliefs and values. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes evident that this trip is not merely a temporary escape but a pivotal moment that will irrevocably alter Corde's life.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, Publisher: London, W H Allen & Co, Alison Press / Secker & Warburg, (1978). FIRST EDITION, (VG / VG). Original Publishers Black Cloth, Gilt Titles To Spine, 9 1/4" X 6 1/2" X 1", 285pp, The Book Is Clean & Tight, (with No Inscriptions), ISBN 0 491 02063 5. The Dust Jacket, (Design Steve Ridgeway and Nick Thirkell), Is Clean & Bright, And Not Price Clipped, (£5.95 net). [Front (inside) Flap] On Thursday 8 August, 1963, fifteen masked men stopped the night mail train from Glasgow to London and robbed it of £2,500,000. It was called the crime of the century, and the thieves were pursued relentlessly by Scotland Yard until half the gang were brought to court and sentenced to long terms of imprisonment. The story did not end there. First one, then another escaped from prison and fled abroad: the audacity of the original robbery was compounded by these impudent jailbreaks, and to many all over the world the Great Train Robbers actually became folk heroes. Thirteen years later most of the gang were released on parole: only two remained in prison, and Ronnie Biggs was still a fugitive in Brazil. Now, most have served their sentences, they combined togetherr to tell for the first time their complete, exclusive and sensational story; Piers Paul Read, the author of 'Alive', agreed to write it This extraordinary book is the result. It contains not only a thrilling account of the robbery itself, but an anatomy of the two gangs that combined to pull it off; the role played by each individual; the tension between them; the meticulous planning and the measure of luck. It probes deeply into the London underworld - the corruption of policemen, the imtimidation of witnesses, the bribing of jurors, the murder of informers, the miscarriage of justice. The story is fast and exciting but is told with a ruthless detachment, and details the tragic consequences for the wives, girl-friends and children of the robbers. The final chapter reveals in a totally unexpected way how long prison sentences have failed to reform the most notorious criminals of our generation. …
