Tom Holt – Flying Dutch – Uncorrected Proof Copy 1991
£35.00
An uncorrected proof copy of Flying Dutch by Tom Holt, published by Orbit in 1991. A near fine copy, with rubbing to spine edges, shelf wear to the soft covers, bumping to the lower corner of front board and spotting to the text block.
Flying Dutch by Tom Holt is a witty, modern twist on the legendary ghost ship. Immortal Dutch captain Cornelius Vanderdecker and his crew became eternal after drinking an alchemist’s elixir but suffer from a foul stench that banishes them to sea, resurfacing only briefly every seven years. When an ancient life‑insurance policy threatens the global economy, mild‑mannered accountant Jane Doland, who can’t smell, must track him down. Holt’s breezy, sardonic storytelling blends myth, financial farce and humour.
