THE SISTERS by Littell, Robert - 2003

Woodstock, NY: The Overlook Press, 2003. First Edition. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. An early novel from Littell, one of today's masters of the spy-thriller. First Printing, First Edition Thus, originally published in 1986, re-issed in this new edition in 2003. It features a pair of legendary Cold War CIA agents, known as "The Sisters of Death and Night," who have coerced the former head of the KGB's "sleeper school" to activate his last sleeper agent, an assassin living covertly in the U.S., to initiate the Sisters exquisitely planned, world-shattering crime. A tiny stain on the text's fore edge, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows only a touch of edge wear at the spine ends, no tears, no creasing or chipping, not price-clipped. Collectable copy.
