About This Item
London : Hamish Hamilton, (1947). First British edition. The mystery of a man who comes back to London from the dead. "It looks impossible, insoluble; it turns out clear as day, a neat little crime, an excellently human motive. This is Carr at his best" (Illustrated London News, 23rd August 1947). Also published in New York the same year. Crown 8vo (20cm). (256)pp. Original navy cloth, blocked and lettered in gilt; a few slight marks; a few spots to top edge, but a very good, bright and sound copy in the dust-jacket - a dramatic design by Harold Hookway Cowles (1896-1987) - with a few tiny marks and scuffs, but also very good.
