First edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with black titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh with a little bumping at the spine tips. The contents, with just the odd isolated spot to the margins are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the rubbed and nicked original dustwrapper that has several small chips to the edges with associated creasing. Not price-clipped (15s net to the lower front flap).
A stand alone murder mystery with occult elements. The first edition was published in the UK on 6th November 1961, the American edition followed early the next year. (Hubin; Wagstaff & Poole; Curran, John: The Hooded Gunman).
