Description
Offered here is this wonderful Vintage First Edition of Saigon Singer, by Van Wyck Mason. The book is in good condition. There are a few of stains on the cover. The outer spine is a little faded, and a little bent at the top and bottom edges of the spine. The spine and binding are holding well, but they are beginning to loosen. All of the 312 pages are intact and in good condition, although they are yellowing with age. This book is a first edition published by Doubleday & Company Inc., with a copyright date of 1946. I am unsure if it is a first printing, but I believe that it is. It is a very nice vintage novel.
Colonel Hugh North resigns his rank of colonel to remain a field agent. G-2 has received word that someone in Saigon can give them the names of British and Americans who consorted with a Japanese general, identifying our agents, resulting in their deaths. Now America and British governments want them brought to trial for treason. His cover is a safari to shoot tigers in Indo-China, and his contact will come to him. The British sends their man, Brigadier Bruce Kilgore to assist Major North. Pamela Saunders, an American prisoner during the Japanese occupation, had the mistress of the general in order to survive, and she has the records. A gifted opera singer in Saigon, she wants money that will take her to the Stage in Paris and New York, and will reveal the secret for the right price – if North can keep her alive.
