HASTINGS, Michael. Death in Deep Green
HASTINGS, Michael. Death in Deep Green. London: Methuen. 1952. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s green cloth lettered in slightly dulled gilt to the spine, in the excellent dust jacket designed by John Minton. A very smart copy overall, the cloth clean, the binding tight and square, the textblock edges with a couple of minor marks, and a few other very faint marks within. From the library of Professor Martin Salisbury, leading figure on British dust jacket design, with his signature in pencil to front endpaper. The dust jacket unclipped (10s 6d net), with a couple of small chips and nicks to the corners, to spine tips affecting the titles at head, some grubbiness to cream rear panel. Still, a handsome copy.
A thriller set in the Amazon jungle and eventually tailing its way back to a greedy corporation. Michael Hastings was a pseudonym for Herbert Roy Higgins; he took on the pseudonym as his name by deed poll by the time of publication here. The sumptuous dust jacket showcases one of Minton’s finest expressive landscapes; sunny, sultry landscapes surrounding far-off intriguing figures.
