Agatha Christie – Lord Edgware Dies – First Paperback Edition 1948
£50.00
First paperback edition, first printing. Published by Penguin in London, 1948. This is a near fine copy. The green soft cover is worn at the corners, with browning to the spine. The top and tail are slightly worn also. There is a thin brown line to the rear panel. The text blocks are bright and crisp, despite poor paper stock. The internals are clean and the hinges markedly intact. Overall, this is a near fine copy. Scarce.
The novel features Hercule Poirot, Arthur Hastings and Chief Inspector Japp. An American actress married to Lord Edgware asks Poirot to aid her in getting a divorce from her husband. Poirot agrees to help her, meeting her husband. That evening, the actress is seen at a dinner with thirteen guests, which has an associated superstition. By the next morning Lord Edgware and another American actress are found murdered, each at their own homes. Poirot investigates.
