The publisher's original black cloth boards remain exceptionally sharp and rigid, indicating it has been carefully stored, while the spine preserves its silver gilt tooling in bright, unoxidised condition. The binding is impressively tight and square, supporting a text block that is largely pristine, save for some very faint, scattered foxing to the top edge that is typical of the era's paper stock. Internally, the leaves are crisp, bright, and completely free from previous ownership inscriptions or distracting blemishes. The book is housed in its original, unclipped dust jacket, which retains its £7.95 net price and presents brilliantly; the black background remains deeply saturated with no sunning, exhibiting only the most microscopic traces of superficial shelf-wear to the extreme spine tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a true first edition, first impression of Household's highly anticipated sequel.

Having failed his initial mission and escaped back to England in 1938, Ingelram finds himself unable to stay out of the fray. Caught and severely tortured by the Gestapo, he mounts a daring escape across a war-torn Europe. Operating as a lone wolf through Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Turkey, and beyond, he embarks on a relentless, single-minded vendetta against the Nazi regime. Striking from the shadows and surviving by his wits, Ingelram leaves a trail of devastation in his wake, culminating in a brilliantly ironic climax where the hunter and the hunted are irrevocably consumed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54332890841427,"sku":"4619","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260714_141555.jpg?v=1784266930","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/rogue-justice-geoffrey-household-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
