London: John Long. First Edition / First Impression. Hardback. Very good condition. A thriller following a British secret service agent in Ireland. The leader of an occult society has the ability to brainwash his 'Brethren of the Rising Moon' and induce them to basically try and trigger a world war. Occult thrillers were quite a thing in the 1930s, with Wheatley's The Devil Rides Out being the prime example. Wheatley provides praise for this book on the front flap. The jacket has a few short, closed tears to the edges, and a vertical crease. The book has a few marks to the boards and a reading lean. A nice copy overall. Very Good / Very Good. Item #13721
