New York: William Morrow, 1953
8vo, pp. 263. Original yellow boards, lettered in red to spine. Illustrated dust jacket. A near fine copy in a very good dust jacket with some tape strengthening to reverse and a little chipping to corners and spine ends.
First edition of the last Sir Henry Merrivale novel by John Dickson Carr, published as usual in this series under the pseudonym Dickson Carter. A locked room mystery, a genre of which Carr was a master.
An attractive copy.
