Light rubbing to cloth, a very good copy in a very good dust jacket with light shelf wear to edges with some rubs to spine ends and corner tips, some light abrasions at verso of spine panel with several small pin pricks, some stress creases front flap fold, a few tiny chips to upper rear panel. (11603). Octavo, pp. [1-8] [1-2] 3-276 [277-280: blank], original black cloth, front and spine stamped in red, top edge stained red, fore-edge rough cut. The author's third mystery novel. Features newspaperman Robin Bishop. "Between 1936 and 1946, Homes published 12 detective and suspense novels set primarily in the valleys and foothills of north-central California. Each is distinguished by clever plotting, semi-hard-boiled realism, fast-paced action, witty and remarkably good dialogue, and some of the finest and most vivid descriptive passages in mystery fiction."- Pederson (ed.): St. James Guide To Crime and Mystery Writers (4th ed.), p 533.
