The Salamander by Morris West is a 1973 William Morrow hardcover political thriller with its original illustrated dust jacket and 355 pages.
Set against modern Italy, the novel follows Colonel Dante Alighieri Matucci as he investigates the death of a neo-fascist general and becomes caught in a web of political intrigue, surveillance, violence, and competing loyalties.
Very Good vintage condition. The pages are clean and the book remains sound. The mustard yellow hardcover boards are attractive, with an embossed salamander design on the front. The original dust jacket is clean overall with age toning and light edge, corner, and spine-end wear consistent with age. Please review photos for the best look at condition.
Morris West built much of his fiction around politics, religion, power, and moral conflict. This novel places those tensions inside 1970s Italy. The Paul Bacon jacket design and embossed salamander on the yellow boards give this copy distinctive period shelf appeal.
