Panther, St Albans, Herts, 1973, reprint.  ISBN 0-586-02961-3.  MMPB, 173 pages.  Very good; light edge wear, tight binding, tanning pages; very gently read if at all.  ‘Paul Forrester was a rocket engineer, one of the best.  He’s invented a metal lighter and more durable even than steel.  A lot of different guys, some of them real ugly customers, wanted to get their hands on it.  The Pentagon, the Chinese, the Soviets, and most of all Herman Radnitz, and international operator who’d sell you any secret you wanted – at a price.  But Forrester’s mind had snapped … Now he was locked away in an exclusive asylum, closely guarded by an anxious American government.  Somewhere in his tortured mind he held the formula.  Radnitz had to bust him loose.’ (from rear wrap)
