Not dated but produced in accordance with war economy standards, so publication somewhere between 1942 and 1949. Green cloth boards (worn at edges and folds, sunned on spine, moderate splash mark on front board). Lending sheet on front free endpaper, no other library markings. Occasional foxing. In its original, faded, dust jacket (chipped all round edges, shelf wear on spine and verso, partial spine crease). Hard to find vintage crime title, uncommon in dust jacket. Mystery novel featuring Al Branson of the Homicide Squad.
