The content's, with a previous owner's bookplate and shelf stamp to the front pastedown and his ownership name and date to the top of the title page, are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the rubbed, creased and nicked dustwrapper, that has a few short closed tears and small chips at the folds and is otherwise bright and attractive. A scarce mystery novel from the founding member of The Detection Club who also wrote under the pseudonyms Francis Iles, Anthony Berkeley, and A. Monmouth Platts. Two amateur criminologists stage a mock murder to see how the alleged murderer reacts. (Hubin). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
