by John Dickson Carr.
London: Hamish Hamilton, (1967).
First edition thus in the Fingerprint Books series.
Crimp to the upper spine, pale uniform strip of offsetting to the endpapers, tiny (having read) tick marks to the page of titles by the author, else near fine in dark blue boards with bright gilt spine titles, top edge colored red; in a very good dust jacket missing a piece at the upper front panel (see photo).
First published in 1942, this reissue of the 14th book in the series is an enjoyable game of cat and mouse pitting detective Gideon Fell against the "chief" suspect.
"[John Dickson Carr] is the supreme conjuror; the king of the art of misdirection...once you begin a book of his, you simply cannot put it down."--Agatha Christie.
