[bottom corners moderately bumped, otherwise a solid clean copy with just light shelfwear; jacket is edgeworn, with a few small tears, creasing and scrunching at top of spine, slight paper loss at top corners]. Second (and last) novel by this author, better known for "Fallen Angel," made into a memorable film by Otto Preminger.

[beware: the book's covers are extensively dampstained, although there appears to have been no associated damage done to the inside; as usual, however, with these cheap wartime editions the paper is quite browned; the jacket is heavily edgeworn, with numerous nicks and tiny tears but very little actual paper loss; in summary, keep the jacket on and this will serve as a reasonably presentable copy of a scarce edition]. (B&W photographs) Murder mystery which served as the basis for one of the best of Otto Preminger's early films (and a worthy follow-up to his classic LAURA). The first of five ... View more info
