About This Item
N.Y.: Signet Books / New American Library, 1948. First pbk printing, September 1948, so stated. Signet Books #684. Cover illustration by Jonas. Shallow loss at lower corner else near fine. Features Sheriff John Ewell Macready; South Carolina. Locked room mystery, Adey # 1038. The elder brother of the family winds up dead in locked room, and there's a strong indication that outsider Charles Cole did the deed. Sheriff John Mcready doesn't think so though. The doors and windows have been wiped clean of finger prints, as has the knife thrust into the victim's chest. Despite a looming election, Mcready risks his badge by allowing Cole to follow him around on the murder investigation in a manner as unbelievable and yet as convincing as something that John Dickson Carr may well have dreamed up.. First Printing. Pictorial Wrappers. Near Fine. Illus. by Jonas, Robert. Vintage Paperback.
