First Train to Babylon

New York: Harper & Brothers. Very Good+. (c.1955). Later Printing (L-E). Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [a good sound copy with only minor shelfwear, but with a small array of white surface-scarring in the upper area of the rear cover]. Ehrlich's third novel (and the second to be filmed), it's about the repercussions when a woman receives a letter addressed to her husband -- undelivered for ten years -- that accuses him "of doing something no decent man could ever have done." The film adaptation, THE NAKED EDGE, which featured the final screen appearance of Gary Cooper, was released in 1961. .
