About this Item

The first edition of this thrilling Hercule Poirot detective novel, by the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie. The first edition, first impression of this work, in the publisher's original price clipped dust wrapper.This Christie novel consists of two interwoven plots: the mystery Poirot works on from his armchair while the police work on the spot, and a Cold War spy story told in the first person narrative.In this unusual work, Poirot never actually visits the crime scenes or interviews witnesses or suspects; instead, he proves his claim that he is capable of solving crimes by use of his intellect alone. In the publisher's original cloth binding, with price clipped dust wrapper. Bumping to back strip head and tail, otherwise externally excellent. Spotting to fore edge of text block. Significant loss to tail of dust wrapper back strip and front wrap. Minor loss to back strip head. Tape residue to tail of rear wrap. Closed tears to rear wrap head and tail. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright, with light spotting throughout, and more significant spotting to first and last few leaves. Very Good Indeed. Seller Inventory # 866F5
