London : Hodder & Stoughton, (1999). First edition. “Single & Single is an exalted London firm of financiers, led into villainy by a small, impeccably dressed man called Tiger. In the decaying days of the Soviet Union, Single & Single form an alliance with two equally villainous but sentimental brothers from Georgia ... Tiger’s son, Oliver, has split in the opposite direction, towards virtue, HM Customs, and a sequence of strong-minded ladies” (Douglas Hurd, Literary Review, February 1999).
Medium 8vo (25cm). 336pp. Original burgundy boards, lettered in gilt; silk marker; very faint spotting of edges but otherwise a very good copy in a just lightly used dust-jacket.
