First edition. Fine, bright copy in a bright, crisp dust jacket that is lightly soiled on the white rear cover and with light professional restoration to the spine ends and extremities. Insp. Queen needed to learn the identity of a man found murdered in a posh hotel. The scene of the crime bordered on the bizarre, with everything in the room turned backwards, including the victim's clothing, the rug was turned upside down, the picture faced the wall. Everything in the room that was movable had been turned backwards! Bourgeau says "one of the trickiest of the early Queen novels. Ellery deals with a locked-room mystery whose solution lies in what today can only be described as a quaint piece of deduction." An attractive copy of an elusive book. Seller Inventory # 51291
