Fatal Venture

£5.00

Penguin 1st Edition, published 1959.

When a chance meeting with a stranger on a train offers Harry Morrison the opportunity of a lifetime, he grabs it. Charles Bristow has a brilliant new business idea: refurbish outdated ocean liners for inexpensive cruises that move continuously around the British Isles. Rather than a fixed cruise, passengers can hop on or off as they like, more like a floating hotel. Harry’s expertise as a travel agent will be key to making this plan work. Once they’ve added a third partner, bored millionaire John Stott, the enterprise seems foolproof...

Condition grading: Good Minus. Tan strip to right side of rear cover. Light creases to bottom left corner of rear cover. Very Light creases and some foxing to right edge of front cover. Some wear to tanned spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
