194 pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5") bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. The woman whose body was found down a south Wales coal mine was a stranger to those parts. She had come from the north-east in search of a missing husband, and with the help of an enquiry agent had found him. It did not take the local police long to put two and two together, especially when the husband confessed to the crime. But at the trial an able defense counsel tore the police evidence to ribbons and the case was thrown wide open once again, much to the relief of Inspector Crow, who had always distrusted the confession. What puzzled him was why it had ever been made. Condition: Jacket price chipped else a better than very good copy in a near fine jacket.
