THE PIT-PROP SYNDICATE

First edition, first printing of the author's third book. Publisher's file copy. Original navy blue cloth ruled and with titles in red to the upper board and spine. A better than very good copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping and rubbing to the spine tips and corners, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, with the publisher's 'File Copy / Not to be Removed' stamp to the title page are otherwise clean throughout. The closed text block edges are dusty. An attractive copy.

A stand alone crime novel from a master of the Police procedural who-dunnit, this example with a particularly pleasing provenance. (Hubin).
