THE CASE OF THE INDIAN DANCER. THE SEXTON BLAKE LIBRARY NO 241. by Parsons, Anthony

[Amalgamated/Fleetway, London, n.d.]. 64 pp, soft cover (stapled in wraps). "Roshanara - that was all the name she had, or at any rate all the name she used - was undoubtedly beautiful. In fact, she was more than that, she was a veritable 'Dream of Delight' - she was positively lovely so far as face and figure went. Her fans were legion. Her picture was in every paper almost every day. She was pale as a lily, with blue-black hair and sloe eyes; and when she danced - Elsie had seen her several times at the Accolade - you could only think of moonbeams on a summer sea, or dappled sunlight in a shady grove. She was the kind of ethereal unreality that men went mad about. But to Elsie, as an employer, she was a flat pain in the neck!" Interior - pages browning very lightly, staple rusting (staining to covers), otherwise clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - very light edge wear, very small erasure mark on front cover, soft small crease to top corner of book, spine has light wrinkling, brwning, rubbing and small chip/tear at top. VG-.
