The fact that the deceased is a double-dyed skunk does not make Conquest's position any less precarious.The Gay Desperado has been in many a tight corner before, but never one quite so tight as this.It takes all the efforts of his pretty young wife, Pixie, aided by Superintendent Williams - Sweet Williams to you - to hoist him out the soup.A miniature earthquake in Mayfair involving the sticky end of Double-Dyed Skunk No.2 and lots of high-pressure action lead to the breathless sort of climax for which Mr. Gray is justly popular.

Soft cover. Condizione: GOOD Minus. 1st Edition. (Canadian Collins White Circle # 291). 192 pages. - GRAY, Berkeley ( Pseudonym for Edwy Searles Brooks; also Wrote as; Reginald Browne, R W Comrade, Berkeley Gray, Victor Gunn, Rex Madison, Carlton Ross, Edward Thornton ) - Convict 1066 (Mystery; 1st paperback; Uncommon; Line Drawn with Wash Cover Art ; Strange pop-art style cover!); "CONVICT 1066 was an outlaw from justice when Norman Conquest started to do battle on his behalf. And the way he did it makes one think that if he'd been on Harold's side there'd have been no Norman Conquest. An outlaw himself from police rule and Yard measures, Conquest in this amazing new victory march defies the law of gravity and shows up the silly rule that says a man can't be in two places at the same time. Conquest could, and then he wasn't where he was -or where Inspector Williams (Sweet William) thought he was. This latest rush of Conquest is fully mechanised and leaves the Yard force and the reader short of breath and gasping for air, as they try to keep up with the surging, supercharged, conquering drive of 1o66 in vindication of his number-sake. An expedition full of thrills and laughter, of dangerous corners and hair-raising moments which carries the Gay Desperado of the Thriller World to his latest and greatest triumph" >> This is a reading copy.
