Sobre este artículo
This first edition of Christie's novel was published for The Crime Club. Was Jacko Argyle wrongly executed for the murder of his mother? A stranger shows up at the Argyle household with information which sheds doubt on Jacko's sentence and puts members of the family in fearful anticipation that one of them may be the real culprit.
One or two miniscule bumps to corners of the binding, otherwise fine. No internal markings and hinge is tight. Dust jacket is protected in mylar cover and has a few small bumps to top edges. NOT price clipped! A very pristine copy!
All proceeds benefit The Friends of the San Anselmo Library. No Expedited Shipping outside of the United States.
Notas y descripción extendida
A beautifully preserved copy of a mystery by the "Queen of Crime."
Sinopsis
While serving a sentence for killing his mother - a crime he insisted he didn't commit - Jacko Argyle dies in prison. Two years later, the man who could have supported Jacko's alibi suddenly turns up. It appears that Jacko was innocent... and that the murderer is part of the surviving family.The novel was first published in 1958 by William Collins Son & Co. in London, and in 1959 by Dodd, Mead & Co. in New York. It was filmed in 1984 by Golan-Gobus Productions in England starring Donald Sutherland, Sarah Miles and Christopher Plummer. The film adheres closely to the novel. The New York Times described the novel as one of Christie's most engaging works. "Characteristically surprising, trickily constructed and yet firmly based in character..."This book is dedicated, "To Billy Collins with affection and gratitude." It was he who lured Christie from the Bodley Head, which published her first six books, to Williams Collins Sons & Co in 1926. Now known as HarperCollins this company is UK publisher of Christie's books to this day. An adaptation of tihs novel was broadcast, with the addition of Geraldine McEwan as Miss Marple, in 2007.
