Penguin 1st edition, published 1955.
An atmospheric adventure thriller featuring American adventurer and investigator Al Colby. Colby should never have agreed to smuggle the package from Chile to Peru. Now one man’s dead, two beautiful women have betrayed him, and a couple of gunmen are hot on his trail. All because of an ancient Quechua manuscript pointing to the hiding place of a priceless hoard, lost for centuries. Now the race is on – by train, by plane, by motorboat and by mule – first to find the treasure and then to escape with it alive…
Condition grading: Fair. Spine lean. Foxing to both covers. Some wear to spine ends. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
