Black-and-white photograph of author to the rear panel. The first, and probably most famous, of the satirical detective novels by the author. "The hero is Homer Evans, an irresponsible playboy with remarkable talents. He can paint a portrait, write a monograph, speak Arabic, settle private quarrels, or detect crimes with equal brilliance and equal aplomb: and in this instance he turns the whole of Paris upside down to trace the disappearance of a millionaire patron of the arts from a bohemian party in Montparnasse. It is a mystery story to beat all mystery stories  a hilarious mixture of crime, love, fantastic disguises and ridiculous events in the Artist quarter of the Rue de l'Huchette."  from the verso of the front panel. Minor rubbing to the book edges and panels with cocking of the spine. Sunning of the back strip and rear panel with browning of the text block edges and pages. Previous owner's name to the half title page. First edition of the work in this format and binding, and/or set or series. Size: 12mo (standard paperback). 255, [1]pages..
