About This Item
London: Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1960. First edition. Cloth. Fine/Very Good Indeed. 7.5" by 5". None. The first UK edition of this thriller novel by Ursula Curtiss, in the original dust wrapper. The first UK edition. In the publisher's original cloth with the original unclipped dust wrapper. This work was written by American mystery author Ursula Curtiss and follows Louise, who is haunted by the memory of a kidnapping case that she can't seem to escape, even after starting a new job. In the publisher's original cloth with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally lovely with only the slightest shelf wear. The wrap is very smart with rubbing to the joints and extremities, the odd small closed tear, light handling marks the rear and the odd small chip. Internally firmly bound with clean and bright pages. Fine
