Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. First Printing, First U.S. Edition. Innes' Sir John Appleby, featured in many of the author's past mysteries, is retired now from his post as Metropolitan Police Commissioner, but is tempted to return to deal with a case involving stolen art, a murdered man of wealth and a plethora of suspects, including the man's wife, who is having an affair with an eminent surgeon; the rich man's mistress, who is bedding his nephew; his son, his secretary, a house guest who's a shady art dealer and a Miss Kentwell, who claims to be representing charitable organizations. Remainder dots on top and bottom edges of text, o/w boards and text are clean, tight, with a slight spine lean; the dustjacket is tattered with somewhat large chips missing from the back panel and the top of the spine, as well as considerable surface and edgewear. That said, the dj is about 85 percent whole and not missing anything of significence. A quite decent reading copy.

"Between 1936 and 1986, Stewart, writing under the pseudonym of Michael Innes, published nearly fifty crime novels and short story collections, which he later described as "entertainments". These abound in literary allusions and in what critics have variously described as "mischievous wit", "exuberant fancy" and a "tongue-in-cheek propensity" for intriguing turns of phrase. Julian Symons identified Innes as one of the "farceurs"crime writers for whom the detective story was "an over-civilized joke with a frivolity which makes it a literary conversation piece with detection taking place on the side"and described Innes's writing as being "rather in the manner of Peacock strained through or distorted by Aldous Huxley". His mysteries have also been described as combining "the elliptical introspection . [of] a Jamesian character's speech, the intellectual precision of a Conradian description, and the amazing coincidences that mark any one of Hardy's plots"." (from Wikipedia).

"John Innes Mackintosh Stewart HFRSE (30 September 1906 12 November 1994) was a Scottish novelist and academic. He is equally well known for the works of literary criticism and contemporary novels published under his real name and for the crime fiction published under the pseudonym of Michael Innes. Many devotees of the Innes books were unaware of his other "identity", and vice versa. ".
