Agatha Christie – Destination Unknown – First UK Edition 1954
£125.00
A first edition, first printing of Destination Unknown by Agatha Christie, published by Collins, London in 1954. A near fine book free from internal inscriptions, mild spotting to the front board, some bumping to the head of the spine, single bump to the upper edge of rear board and bumping to the lower corners, toning to the text block. In a near fine unclipped wrapper with chipping to the spine tips, chipping to the knuckles of the front flap fold and an open tear to the upper knuckle of the rear flap fold, some fading to the spine and toning to the rear panel.
Destination Unknown by Agatha Christie is a suspenseful spy thriller, departing from her usual detective mysteries. Set during the Cold War, the novel follows Hilary Craven, a grieving woman recruited by British intelligence to impersonate a missing scientist’s wife. As she uncovers a sinister plot involving kidnapped scientists in a secret facility, Hilary finds renewed purpose. Christie blends espionage, danger, and personal redemption in this fast-paced tale of intrigue and identity.
