About This Item
London : Victor Gollancz, 1956. First edition. "As a detective story something of a sell - there is no murder in it; in fact so far as I could make out no crime at all. As a story it is a success, in its bizarre and wholly personal Innes way ... [but] not enough corpse and too much library" (Elizabeth Bowen in The Tatler, 18th April 1956). Crown 8vo (20cm). (224)pp. Original red boards, lettered in gilt; mild spotting of edges and endpapers, but a good and sound copy in the dust-jacket - the jacket price-clipped and a little rubbed and tanned, with some chipping and wear at head.
