The value of this particular paperback edition is generally modest, as it is a vintage paperback rather than a true first edition (which was a hardcover published by Heinemann in 1935). The condition of the book is the primary determinant of its worth.

The story:
- From master storyteller Graham Greene comes the tale of Anthony Farrant, who has boasted, lied and cheated his way through jobs all over the world. Then his adoring twin sister, Kate, gets him taken on as the bodyguard of Krogh, her lover and boss, a megalomaniac Swedish financier.
- All goes well until Krogh gives orders that offend Anthony’s innate decency. Outraged and blind to risk, he leaks information to Minty, a shabby journalist and fellow victim of life, a decision that will lead to disastrous consequences.
