About This Item
London : Victor Gollancz, 1961. First edition. "Happy the week in which a new Innes is published and we meet again that most civilised and subtly devious of policemen, Sir John Appleby. He is now 53 and nominally a desk-bound Yard administrator, but his detective wit is undimmed, and he manages to leave his desk long enough to solve the murders attendant on the discovery of an unknown Rembrandt" (Daily Herald, 23rd September 1961). Crown 8vo (20cm). 192pp. Original red boards, lettered in gilt; mild tanning to half-title; a few leaves with a very faint crease, but otherwise a very good copy in the dust-jacket - the jacket a touch used and very slightly tanned, but with just a single short nick, and otherwise very good. Small bookseller's label of Bowes & Bowes of Cambridge.
