Description:
Norfolk, VA, U.S.A.: Crippen & Landru, 2008. 1st prtg. Fine, unread copy of trade paperback, still in shrinkwrap. NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED! Four plays written during the early 1940s, two by John Dickson Carr alone and two in collaboration with the BBC's Val Gielgud. "Inspector Silence Takes the Air" is set during World War II at emergency BBC studios in a provincial town. There, a murder takes place - and the weapon disappears.

"Intruding Shadow" is filled with mysteries within mysteries, as Carr expertly shifts the audience's expectations from one suspect to another. "She Slept Lightly" features the ghostly appearances of a young woman during the Napoleonic Wars. The book concludes with an alternate ending for one of the plays, cast lists, and contemporary reviews…
