By Robert Lindsey. Christopher John Boyce and Andrew Daulton Lee are the titular Falcon and Snowman, as seen in the movie by the same name starring Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn. The book's about 20% too long but Lindsey's prose is right down the fairway for its era: strained at times, but you get a real picture of Cold War anxieties. (And of sought-after blurbers. Does anyone read Ken Follett anymore? But he was king of the thrillers back then.)

The hardcover is in good shape — some cornerwear and rubbing to the jacket, which also has an old price sticker at the top right, but it’s done its job protecting the boards. A couple of spots and smudges to the page edges, but clean inside AFAICT, no dog-ears. A solid reading copy.
