Agatha Christie – Destination Unknown – First UK Edition 1954
£225.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘Destination Unknown’ by Agatha Christie, published by Collins in 1954. A fine book without inscriptions. In a fine unclipped wrapper with just a little wear to the head of the spine and a little rubbing to the corners – the best copy we have ever seen.
The novel opens in Morocco, where Hilary Craven is staying after a failed marriage. She plans to commit suicide, but is instead recruited by the British secret service for a mission. She is asked to impersonate the wife of a nuclear scientist who has recently disappeared. Hilary is soon transported to meet her new “husband”.
