Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good+ dj. Illustrated by (dj) Herbstman (illustrator). First Edition. [apparently an ex-rental library book (not overtly marked as such but with the remnant of a label on the rear endpaper), only lightly worn but with some black residue along the bottom edges of both pastedowns and endpapers (from one of those old-style dust jacket covers, now removed), and a bit of staining to several early pages; the jacket is nice and clean with only some modest wrinkling and minor edgewear]. Murder mystery about a group of executives at a New York advertising agency who have to spend an obligatory weekend in Connecticut in the company of a disagreeable client (the chairman of a frozen foods company) -- who proves to be, at first, a somewhat lonely man who's concerned about the whereabouts of his "beautiful young blonde wife, and subsequently an inconveniently dead man who succumbs (or so it appears) to a heart attack. The author (not to be confused with the prominent West Coast architect and watercolorist of the same name) wrote about ten mystery novels between the early 1940s and the early 1960s, several of which had ad-agency setiings, which kinda makes me think he worked in that milieu, although I haven't found any hard evidence for it.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good dj. Illustrated by (dj) Herbstman (illustrator). First Edition. (price-clipped) [good sound copy, lower front corner bumped, minor white stain at bottom of front cover; the jacket is well-worn, somewhat scraped and scuffed, with an M-shaped chip at the bottom of the front panel, some mostly-internal dampstaining surrounding the base of the spine, and a number of small chips and nicks along the top edge]. A "fast-moving, hilarious satire of the cloak-and-dagger business," set in the late stages of World War II, involving one Lt. Holliday "of America's oh-so-secret Force 99," who is dispatched to the fictional Russian-occupied Balkan nation of "Carpathia," where he is charged with ferreting out a document "vital to the Joint Chiefs of Staff" and finds himself getting entangled with a sexy Baroness, among other wacky adventures. The author certainly knew the territory: from 1942 he served in the O.S.S. under the legendary "Wild Bill" Donovan; per his NYT obituary, "he was the first United States soldier to enter Rumania in the closing days of World War II, [parachuting] into Bucharest several days before the [Russian] troops arrived." The jacket blurb further elaborates on this exploit, which (despite its deadly serious nature) clearly provided much of the inspiration for his novel: "He flew into the Balkans in August, 1944, the day the Russians marched in, and there combed P.W. camps, blew safes, hunted holed-up Germans and interrogated internees," all of which earned him a decoration from Col. Donovan. His only novel, this might well be the earliest example of a satirical take on World War II espionage activities (one has to wonder what Donovan thought of it!); its farcical tone qualifies it (in my opinion) as a kind of spiritual precursor to Heller's "Catch-22," and its scarcity today suggests that it may have a bit of an underground reputation amongst spy-fans. Following the war, Bowie worked in various capacities in the federal government (as he had before his wartime service), and in 1951 became an editor at National Geographic Magazine, a position he still held at the time of his death in 1958 at age 44.
