Sobre este artículo
N.Y.: Rinehart & Company, Inc, 1951. 1st edition. Publishers bright red cloth, with yellow and white lettering at spine, some light wear along edges, some foxing to pages else a very good/near fine copy in dust jacket, lightly chipped along bottom edge, spine edges rubbed, not price clipped, $2.50 price intact, moderately soiled. Very Scarce. Young Rena Austen, newly wed, is afraid she’s made a terrible mistake. Her husband, once a dashingly romantic figure of a wounded war hero, has become a moody lay-about, and they are sharing a gloomy house on the Upper East Side of New York with his unpleasant, always-there family. When her husband reacts in a frighteningly angry way to Rena pulling a particular volume off the library shelf, she has had enough, and flees her home in fear for her life. She is afraid no one will believe her, that she will be thought insane. Thankfully, Henry Gamadge is on hand to solve the mystery of the book -- and the dead body that inevitably turns up. Despite everything being against her, she resolves to seek out one Henry Gamadge, an expert on books and inks, but who also has a reputation for solving puzzles and exposing murderers, whom she had once met.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good-Near Fine/Very Good. Illus. by Nardin, Warren. Book.
