MICHAEL GILBERT — The Dust and the Heat

London, Mysterious Press / Hutchinson. 1989, New Edition. Soft cover. Book, Covers a little worn and creased. Although published by Mysterious Press, presumably because Michael Gilbert wrote a number of detective stories, this is not a mystery, but a straightforward novel of a man who uses his wartime experience to succeed unscrupulously in business. Some criminal acts occur, more or less off-stage, but I wouldn't call it a crime novel. First published in 1967. Good/No Jacket.
