Minor light-tan spotting to the end-papers and outer page edges, small nick to the upper edge of rear cover, slight rub-wear to upper and lower spine edges and corner tips, else very good in black linen with red-orange embossed titles and rules to the front cover and to the spine; in a fine high quality FACSIMILE dust jacket. Hard-to-find in any published form, this sought-after mystery novel focuses on the motive, the characterization of the murderer, and takes the reader through the unlikely killing of the murderer's wife, to police investigation, the trial, the acquittal, and finishes with a lengthy portrait of the husband after the trial. Quite attractive vintage first edition in a sparkling fine facsimile jacket. FREE SHIPPING TO THE USA PLEASE VIEW FOR MORE GREAT FIRST EDITION MYSTERY BOOKS THANKS! |
