THE PALE HORSE

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with black titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh, the text block a little shaken. The contents, with a previous owner's signature to the front endpaper and some spotting to the top edge of the closed text block, are otherwise clean throuhgout. Complete with the original dustwrapper that is little worn at the corners and with a few light marks to the rear panel. Not price-clipped (15s net to the lower front flap).

A stand alone murder mystery with occult elements. The first edition was published in the UK on 6th November 1961, the American edition followed early the next year. (Hubin; Wagstaff & Poole; Curran, John: The Hooded Gunman).
