First edition, first printing. Publisher's original brown cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The contents, with toning to the poor quality paper stock are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked, price-clipped dustwrapper that has a small amount of loss to the head of the slightly darkened spine. An attractive example of a very scarce title in the first edition.
A crime novel from the author better known as Marjorie Bowen. The basis for the 1948 British film of the same title directed by Marc Allégret and starring Valerie Hobson and Stewart Granger. (Hubin).
