Agatha Christie – Ten Little Niggers – First Edition 1939
£975.00
A first edition, first printing published by Collins in 1939. A very good copy without inscriptions. Some light browning to the spine, some wear to the front hinge and a little light marking here and there. The FIRST ISSUE with the date of 1939 present. Rare
Follows ten strangers lured to a remote island, where a mysterious host accuses each of a past crime. One by one, the guests die in ways that mirror a sinister nursery rhyme. With no escape and no apparent murderer, paranoia and guilt intensify as the group dwindles. Christie’s tightly constructed plot, psychological tension, and shocking resolution have made it one of the most influential detective novels ever written.
