Complete with the lightly rubbed, nicked and spine-faded dustwrapper that remains without loss or large tears. Not price-clipped (9s 6d net to the lower front flap).
The first of thirteen Hubin listed detective novels written under the Raymond Armstrong pseudonym. The author, a British screen-writer and film director also wrote under the names Mark Corrigan and Robertson Hobart. (Hubin).
