A Novel. Spy thriller with a dash of mystery. Tells the story of an American reporter in Chungking who becomes involved in an "intricate story of espionage and counterespionage."

Major Herbert O. Yardley led an exciting and amazing life. As the deviser of a new diplomatic cipher code for the Department of State; and as head of the U.S. Government’s cryptographic department—the so-called Black Chamber—from 1919-1929, he contributed enormously to the U.S. efficiency in war and in peace. During World War II, he served as a Major, becoming chief of military intelligence No. 8 in 1917. He was in charge of military intelligence in C-17 at the peace conference, and on the basis of his record received the Distinguished Service medal.

This novel is bound in black boards with red spine lettering. Cover shows very minor corner bumps as does spine. Very good condition, no jacket. Unmarked.
