Publication: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1926, Boston and New York

First U. S. edition. Near fine copy in a near fine, bright dust jacket. Published in the U. K. as THE PIGEON HOUSE. A former member of the Foreign Legion vanishes on the night of his wedding. At The Pigeon House, a lonely inn, a band of conspirators await the arrival of a deserter from the Foreign Legion, who is their "key man" in their plan to start an uprising in French Morocco. The conspirators have also driven the bridegroom's closest friend into exile and a shameful death, which means he must hunt them down and destroy them.
