The Mask of Dimitrios

Eric Ambler

AMBLER, Eric (1909-1998). The Mask of Dimitrios. London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1939.



First edition of Ambler's finest novel and a Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone of Detective Fiction. Initially published in 1942, Howard Haycraft's authoritative list of the most important and influential detective stories was extended by Ellery Queen up to 1952. Readers and collectors refer to books on this list as Haycraft-Queen Cornerstones.



Ambler’s finest novel, The Mask of Dimitrios was read by James Bond on his flight to Istanbul in the 1957 novel From Russia, with Love, and continues to be regarded as a masterpiece of the genre. It was published in the USA in the same year under the title A Coffin for Dimitrios.



Octavo. (Light spotting at beginning and end.) Original red cloth lettered in gilt to spine (edges lightly spotted); original pictorial dust-jacket with 7/6 price on inner flap (light spotting to rear panel, frayed at head of spine, folds lightly rubbed).
