2019025604London U.K.: Hodder & Stoughton 2019. First British Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by author on title page in black fountain ink. A brilliant novel of espionage and betrayal from 'one of Britain's most accomplished thriller writers' Daily Mail London 1963. The Beatles Carnaby Street mini-skirts. But the new mood hasn't reached the drab and fearful corridors of MI5 and MI6. Many agents joined the secret service to fight the Nazis. Now they are locked in a Cold War against the Russians. And some of them are traitors. The service has been shaken to its core by the high-profile defections of Cambridge-educated spies Burgess MacLean and now Philby. Appalled at such flagrant breaches of British security the Americans are demanding a rigorous review.Harry Vaughan is brought back from Vienna to be part of it. The Chief asks him to join two investigators - Arthur Martin and Peter Wright - who are determined to clean out the stables and the first target of their suspicions is the Deputy Director General of MI5 Graham Mitchell. Harry hooks up with an old flame Elaine and joins the hunt - somewhat reluctantly. He is sceptical of the case against Mitchell and wary of the messianic fervour of the two spycatchers. But the further the investigation goes the greater the sense of paranoia and distrust that spreads through the 'wilderness of mirrors' that is the secret service.The only certainty is that no-one is above suspicion. Including Harry Vaughan. As new unread first British edition first printing in as new mylar-protected dust jacket. Not remainder-marked or orice-clipped L173 <br/> <br/> Hodder & Stoughton hardcover

1886604544New Orleans: E. A. Brandao & Co 1886. Softcover. Very Good. First edition. 12mo. 53pp. Printed wrappers. Title on the tile page has been neatly canceled in a contemporary hand and replaced with "The Last Witch." Gray wrappers toned with foxing and soil each with a small chip cover partially separated with a penciled note a very good copy of a relatively delicate publication. The text has been nicely preserved. "Witchcraft-copyright 1882-Author's printed copy-Not published" printed on title page. <br /> <br /> A very uncommon play set in Salem in 1693 by a once well-known Louisiana poet and playwright. Williams was born in 1852 and seems to have called New Orleans home for most of his life. According to a biography accompanying a collection of his material at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Williams came from a prominent family with a history in education and law. He started writing while pursuing a career in banking and insurance. He printed his first play Eugene Aram when he was 22 and wrote for the rest of his life. He traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe but "always considered New Orleans his home." According the biography his plays and librettos were produced in London Los Angeles San Francisco New York Chicago and St. Louis. In 1902 his tragedy Unorna was produced in London making him the first New Orleanian to have a play produced in the city. He was also the first New Orleans author to have his work produced by the Metropolitan Opera Company his comic opera A Royal Joke in 1901. He was both the only Louisiana playwright listed in Who's Who in America from 1885 to 1920 and the only author from Louisiana listed in the 1905 edition of A Dictionary of American Authors. We also note that while nearly all of his plays that we locate were published in New Orleans he did have a book of poems The Dream of Art and Other Poems published by G. P. Putnam's Sons in 1892.<br /> <br /> There have been a few 20th century surveys of his life and career most notably by Louisiana playwright and scholar Paul T. Nolan who published several books and articles on Williams but he remains an understudied figure. A rare play with an interesting theme he seemed to often dip into history for his subjects by a once well-known Louisiana playwright. OCLC locates only six physical copies. E. A. Brandao & Co unknown
