Early reprint. 252pp. Maroon cloth boards, a little marked and rounded at extremities. Lending sheet on front free endpaper, no other library markings. Some spotting and finger marks, but basically clean and neat internally. In its original dust jacket (rubbed and chipped at edges, a little faded, some tape reinforcements on reverse). Good, early reprint of this classic crime thriller. Jacket fitted with archival-quality mylar wrapper to protect & prolong its life. It is not adhered to the book or to the jacket. 12mo
