Ellery Queen – The Glass Village – First US Edition 1954
£85.00
A first US edition, first printing of The Glass Village by Ellery Queen, published by Little, Brown and Co. in 1954. A near fine book in the publisher’s original green bound boards with dark green titling to the spine, free from internal inscriptions, with slight pushing to the head and foot of the spine, the browning text block with some minor spotting, with map of Shinn Corners illustrating the free end papers and paste downs. In a near fine unclipped wrapper, with pushing to the spine tips and knuckles of front and rear flap folds, fading to the spine, some minor spotting to the front and rear flaps and spotting internally.
The Glass Village by Ellery Queen is a riveting mystery novel set in the small New England village of Shinn Corners. When a local woman is murdered, suspicion falls on a reclusive elderly man, sparking a wave of hysteria. The novel explores themes of mob mentality and justice as a trial unfolds with dramatic consequences. Queen’s sharp narrative and well-drawn characters create a tense atmosphere, delivering a thought-provoking tale of prejudice, fear and the search for truth.
