1968 The Bang Bang Birds

Description

First Edition, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

First edition. The third of four spy novels written by the author, his only published works. Philip McAlpine finds himself caught up in the lush, sinister world of the Aviary Clubs and their spectacularly successful owner Henry de Vitconne. Those wealthy men who frequent these clubs "view sex as an art form" and use these spaces to get away from their high-pressure worlds. Written by Frederick Adam Diment, a spy novelist who published four novels between 1967 and 1971. All four are about the adventures of Philip McAlpine, an industrial spy. Diment disappeared from public view after his last novel, adding to his cult figure status among fans of 1960s spy novels.
