Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 222 pages. Octavo (8" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers in original pictorial jacket. Notation by author. Advanced Uncorrected Proofs with controversial deleted chapter concerning John Bodkin Adams. With The Ability to Kill, first published in 1963, renowned thriller writer Eric…Ambler turns his attention to true crime—with an emphasis on murder. In five essays, he presents a sampling of famously intriguing (and often disturbing) cases of the last few hundred years, including 19th-century Edinburgh's Burke and Hare, who supplied the medical school with ill-gotten cadavers; Victorian London's infamous Jack the Ripper; the Frenchman Henri Desiré Landru, an early 20th century serial killer; and the Californian doctor Bernard Finch and his lover Carole Tregoff, who conspired to murder his wife in 1961. Rounding out the collection are a few pieces on lighter topics such as spies and how to spot them, and novelists in Hollywood. Though his subjects are sometimes grim, Ambler's deft touch makes this examination of homicide and other matters pure pleasure to read. Condition: Various minor wear and soiling to wrappers and jacket; ink stamps else very good in like jacket. Inscribed by Author(s).
