Description
An uncorrected proof copy of The Red Hen Conspiracy by Kenneth Benton, published by Macmillan, London in 1977. A near fine copy, with toning and creasing the spine, light shelf wear to the soft covers, bump to upper edge of front board and toning to the text block.
The Red Hen Conspiracy by Kenneth Benton follows Dr. Letty Hennessy—a Cambridge don dubbed “The Red Hen”—who leads a Marxist revolutionary cell. She sends protégé James Caudle to Buenos Aires to align with the ERP (“expert” extortionists), but his mission rapidly spirals out of control. As Caudle becomes a liability, Hennessy must salvage her bold ideological plan, confronting betrayal, international intrigue and brutal tactics. A tense, authentic-feeling spy thriller rooted in left-wing radicalism.
