The Way to Santiago
NY: Reynal & Hitchcock, 1940. Hardcover. First Edition.

Thriller novel by the British born, Oxford educated writercentering on the investigation into the assassination of an American journalist that gradually exposes a sinister, Nazi-backed conspiracy aimed at destabilizing the Mexican government.
