MR PRIESTLEY'S PROBLEM

Third printing of the 1927 first edition. Publisher's original black cloth with red titles to the spine and upper board, in dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with bumping and rubbing to the extremities, the spine a touch faded and a few light marks to the cloth at fore-edge. The content's, with a previous owner's bookplate and shelf stamp to the front pastedown and his ownership name and date to the top of the title page, are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the rubbed, creased and nicked dustwrapper, that has a few short closed tears and small chips at the folds and is otherwise bright and attractive.

A scarce mystery novel from the founding member of The Detection Club who also wrote under the pseudonyms Francis Iles, Anthony Berkeley, and A. Monmouth Platts. Two amateur criminologists stage a mock murder to see how the alleged murderer reacts. (Hubin).
