THE SECOND CONFESSION

First UK edition, first printing. Original red cloth with black titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A better than very good copy, the binding firm, the spine a little rolled, the cloth slightly faded at the edges. There is a little faint spotting to the closed text-block edge, the contents are otherwise clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the rubbed, nicked and creased dustwrapper that has a couple of short closed tears and a lightly faded spine. Not price-clipped (8s 6d on the front flap).

The twelfth Nero Wolfe mystery novel. First published in 1949 in the US by the Viking Press. (Hubin; Curran, John: The Hooded Gunman).
