About This Item
London : Modern Fiction (London), [ca.1951]. First edition. Gangster client of ruthless defence attorney Stab Kelly is shot dead through his office window – two beautiful but wholly contrasting women are immediately involved. "Spike Gordon" was one of the new set of fictitious authors introduced by Edwin and Irene Turvey at the height of their success as Moderrn Fiction (London) – it is believed to mask the identity of John Russell Fearn. Crown 8vo (19cm). 126,[ii]pp. Original pictorial stapled wrappers - elegant redhead looks concerned about the dead man; a little rubbed, nicked, creased and very slightly chipped; staples rusted; text a little brittle and tanned, with a few chips; one leaf torn and slightly defective, with the loss of a handful of letters, but overall a good copy of a rare title. No copy traced in any major library worldwide.
