The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
This book contains The King's Jackal and The Reporter Who Made Himself King.
The King's Jackal is a fictionalized story about the exiled King of Messina, a scoundrel of a man who has no wish to rule, but has expensive appetites. He hatches a plot to steal a large sum from those who want to reinstate him as king.
The Reporter Who Made Himself King is a shorter humorous tale about a newly-graduated aspiring war reporter who is assigned to the American Consul to a tiny Pacific Island. Through a series of unlikely events he becomes temporary king of the island and almost causes a war between the US and Germany.
