THE DELICATE APE Dorthy B. Hughes ASE 828 Armed Services EditionTWO MEN had died violent deaths trying to find out what Piers Hunt knew. But for one week he must keep it to himself—and then tell not a chosen few, but the world, what Samuel Anstruther had thought. Piers watched the fantastic, flickering lights of Broadway from his room in the Hotel Astor. All his life he had been haunted by the mocking voice of the German girl—“More melodrama, Piers?” This was "more melodrama”... with a vengeance. And the World Pence Conclave was still almost a week away. Mrs. Hughes' brilliant imagination, her talent for portraying the terror of the hunted and her rich, expressive style have never been put to better use than here. The reviewers who, in the past, have compared her to Edgar Allan Poe, Dashiell Hammett, and Eric Ambler, will find their faith fully justified in this, her finest novel to date.

Hughes has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through as arrangement with the original publisher, Duell, Sloan & Pearce, Inc., New York.
