Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. The Campden Ruby Murder, by Adam Bliss; Rich & Cowan Ltd., London, 1934. First UK edition. Adam Bliss was the pseudonym of Robert & Eve Burkhardt, an American husband and wife team, who wrote 3 mysteries under the Adam Bliss name. This book was first published as "The Camden Ruby Mystery" in the United States, by Barse & Co. in 1931. It was then re-issued by Grosset & Dunlap around that same time.
