Description
A first edition, first printing of ‘Cat Among The Pigeons’ published by Collins in 1959. A very good book with one bookplate to the front endpaper with some spotting to the page edges. In very good unclipped wrapper with some light wear and loss to the corners and to the head of the spine and a little small loss here and there. Musty smell.
It features Christie’s Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, who makes a very late appearance in the final third of the novel. The emphasis on espionage in the early part of the story relates it to Christie’s international adventures (such as They Came to Baghdad) and to the Tommy and Tuppence stories.
