The Mandarin Cypher (1979)

The Mandarin Cypher 'Quiller in Hong Kong' - Adam Hall 1975, second Fontana paperback edition 1979.

The companion piece to the 1977 cover in my collection, the far less-rare cover to the 1979 second edition. Less rare, but just as awesome, and direct from Tony at www.tonyrobertsart.co.uk So privileged to own three of Tony's magisterial covers; his work on Adam Hall's Quiller exceeded Chris Foss in quality and off-kilter weirdness.
