Vance, John Holbrook. THE MAN IN THE CAGE.
Random House, New York, (1960), Ist edition.
219 pp, 8vo, hard cover in dust jacket. "Noel Hutson, junketing around the Mediterranean in petty smuggling operations, liked to think of himself as a gallant adventurer. But in the middle of a foul-smelling North African desert kasbah, with a tru ckload of contraband guns for some grim-faced Arabs, he began to think less and less like a swashbuckling hero. When he was forced to reload his truck with a suspicious cargo for delivery back to his boss in Tangier, it was enough to make any hi g h - strung young man lose control, and then send a frantic SOS letter to his family. Noel and his truck disappeared, but the letter produced his older brother Darrell, on a reluctant mission to pull Noel's chestnuts out of the fire...an exciting su sp en se novel about an American of courage and intelligence who succeeded in taking everything he wanted away from the restless society of smuggling, murder, and North African politics."
