Item description

THE GREEK STATER (The Greek Affair) By Frank Gruber [Los Angeles]: Printed by Massey's Manuscript Service, [Circa 1963-1964]. Mimeographed Manuscript: Brad bound in printed covers. (8 1/2" by 11") 299 page recto mimeographed typed manuscript for the mystery thriller novel, THE GREEK AFFAIR, published by Dutton in 1964. The originally intended title, THE GREEK STATER, is printed on the front cover. Ink note on the title-page indicating this manuscript was received from Frank Gruber in 1967. Covers show some creases and wear, otherwise very good; internally clean. "John Ives' trip to Europe is a means of escape from personal problems. He is just relaxing at the Colosseum when he is confronted by a woman who thrusts upon him an ancient Greek coin and begs him to keep it for her. Ives recognises the coin as a most ususual one, but when he gets to Greece he learns that it is one of the oldest ever found. He is intrigued but he has no way of knowing that the more he learns about the coin, the closer he brings himself - and those around him - to death."--Fantastic Fiction.
