1st ed. Hardback small, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), some foxing edges, flap price-clipped jacket (rear cover lightly marked), minor edgewear, protected by removable semiarchival plastic sleeve (acetate). 184 pp. Crime fiction novel by Frances and Richard Lockridge, published by Hutchinson in 1963. The house that Constance Dale inherits is an enormous Victorian era creation. When she arrives to try to sell it, it has been deserted for months. Or so she thinks. In this crisp, fast-paced crime fiction novel the excitement of distinguishing friend from enemy and hunter from hunted keeps the reader absorbed until the nerve-tingling conclusion. The Lockridges are renowned for their numerous well-planned and entertaining mystery novels.
