Description
A first edition, first printing published by The Bodley Head John Lane in 1924. A very good copy, with first issue with “First published in 1924” to the copyright page. Publisher’s tan cloth stamped in brown on front and spine. One blank leaf, 3 leaves, 310 pages plus 2 pages of ads at back. Fore and bottom page edges uncut as called for. Rubbed and faded with a neat former owner’s name to the front free end-paper, some marks to the boards, hinges starting, spine tips softened, some foxing which has crept into the text block. The rare fourth novel written by Dame Agatha.
