Agatha Christie – Parker Pyne Investigates – First UK Edition 1934
£675.00
A first edition, first printing published by Collins in 1967. A very good book without inscriptions with spotting to the page edges. Internally very clean – some sporadic spotting to the prelims and to some pages. Browning to the spine (especially to the foot of the spine) and some wear to the edges and corners. General handling marks to the boards. Without the elusive dust wrapper.
Set against the backdrop of an archaeological expedition in Iraq, the story follows nurse Amy Leatheran, who becomes entangled in a murder investigation. Renowned detective Hercule Poirot unravels the complex web of relationships and secrets, revealing a surprising murderer. Christie’s tale weaves archaeological intrigue with a cleverly plotted murder, captivating readers with its suspenseful twists and turns.
