Item description from seller

New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, (1962). Book Club edition. This vintage book club edition employs the same dust jacket art by Tony Madia that was used in the first U.S. edition. The seventhth mystery featuring Detective Chief Inspector Harry Matineau set in Granchester, involves mobsters and an extra body at the morgue. The first Martineau mystery was adapted to the 1960 film 'Hell Is A City' starring Stanley Baker, Joan Crawford, and Donald Pleasence. Corners bumped, else near fine in polished taupe textured boards with black titles to the spine, cream headband and tail-band; in a very good dust jacket with a banner of slight age-toning to the upper rear panel, tiny chips to the upper spine edge, and creasing to the lower front panel corner; original printed Book Club Edition still intact to the front inner flap.
