Robert Harris ENIGMA Signed Hardback

First edition first print hardback of ENIGMA by Robert Harris and published by Hutchinson in 1995. Signed to a previous owner by Harris on the title page. Numberline is 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2

The book is in fine condition (black cloth boards with silver lettering to spine) with no significant wear. The book is in a near fine unclipped dust jacket which has light creasing to the edges. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears or other inscriptions.

A gripping World War II mystery novel with a cryptographic twist, Enigma's hero is Tom Jericho, a brilliant British mathematician working as a member of the team struggling to crack the Nazi Enigma code. Jericho's own struggles include nerve-wracking mental labor, the mysterious disappearance of a former girlfriend, the suspicions of his co-workers within the paranoid high-security project, and the certainty that someone close to him, perhaps the missing girl, is a Nazi spy. The plot is pure fiction but the historical background, Alan Turing's famous wartime computing project that cracked the German U-boat communications code, is real and accurately portrayed. Enigma is convincingly plotted, forcefully written, and filled with well drawn characters; in short, it's everything a good technomystery should be.
