First edition, first printing. Original blue cloth with dark blue titles to the spine. No dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the spine faded and the cloth marked, predominantly to the upper board. The contents, with some light spotting to the the text block edges and endpapers, are otherwise clean and without stamps or inscriptions. A scarce title.
Later published in the US as Murder of a Suicide. Ferrar's fifth novel and the third featuring Toby Dyke. (Hubin)
