MEDUSA BY HAMMOND INNES IN SOUTH AFRICA

 HMS Medusa is an obsolete frigate with an ill-assorted crew and an insecure captain.  Why has she been dispatched under secret orders to be a sitting duck in one of the most vital ports of the Mediterranean? Drawn into a close involvement with the Medusa's captain, Gareth Lloyd Jones, ex-adventurer Mike Steele begins a dangerous quest for answers.  As past and present combine in a series of violent event, Steele finds himself at the centre of an international crisis to which only Lloyd Jones and the Medusa hold the key. Soft cover, with some creasing to the cover.  Rubber stamp on the first page.  The paper is browning.
