First edition. Yellowback format. 259 pages + 2 of ads and a 32-page catalogue dated Nov. 1893. The book is bound in the publisher's illustrated glazed paper covered boards, which are quite chipped, bumped, rubbed and marked, with the mull showing in places at the spine. The text block is slightly toned, marked and foxed, with q…uite significant cracking at points and some gatherings protruding, there is a W. H. Smith's blind-stamp to the front endpaper and a neatly written name in ink to the top of the title page. A collection of short detective fiction stories, in the Sherlock Holmes tradition, though with no Watsonesque sidekick, and with the majority told in the first person as though narrated by Sebastian Zambra himself. 'The Clue of the Hired Husband' features a female criminal, and 'The Clue of the Severed Hand' is as macabre as the title suggests, in which a woman is induced to commit a murder in a state of trance, then afterwards has her hand amputated still holding the murder weapon and left at the scene as irrefutable proof of her guilt. The first edition is uncommon, particularly in yellowback guise.
