MURDER IN THE MAZE

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original red cloth bordered and with titles in black to the upper board and spine, in the second state dustwrapper. A very good or better copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping at the spine tips, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents with light spotting to the prelims, more so to the closed text block edge are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owners' marks. Complete with the rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has small chips at the corners and some darkening of the spine and rear panel. Publisher's printed price of 3/6 to the spine. An attractive example, scarce in signed state.

Signed and dated 'Xmas 1929' in black ink by J. J. Connington on the front endpaper. Introducing Detective Sir Clinton Driffield, who appeared in a further sixteen novels. (Hubin).
