Written by best-selling author, Dennis Wheatley. Wheatley’s distinctive style blended thriller with occult themes. ‘The Man Who Killed The King’ is the fourth work in Wheatley’s Roger Brook series of novels, an historical series set amongst the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars. 

In the original cloth binding in the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally smart with slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine. The odd mark to the boards. Dust wrapper is worn, with chipping and creasing to the extremities. Closed tear to rear of wrap. Spotting and handling marks to wrap. Internally firmly bound. Pages generally bright and clean with just the odd mark to the fore edge. Signed and dedicated by the author to the title page.

Grading: VERY GOOD INDEED in a GOOD dust wrapper.
