First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with orange titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, faintly spotted to the endpapers and closed text block edge are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Production fault to the fore-edge of a few pages resulting in them being irregularly cut (not affecting the text). Loosely laid in is a card promotional 'Ticket for use with "Death on the Highway" by Clifton Robbins'. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has a touch of toning to the spine and is without loss or tears. Correctly priced 7/6 net to the spine.
The third of five crime novels to feature the London Barrister turned amateur detective Clay Harrison. (Hubin)
