About This Item
London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1983. First edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. 8" by 5". None. The first edition of this exciting novel by Michael Innes. First edition. Every English mansion has a locked room, and Grinton Hall is no exception - the library has hidden doors and passages and a corpse. But when the corpse goes missing, Sir John Appleby and Charles Honeybath have an even more perplexing case on their hands - just how did it disappear when the doors and windows were securely locked? Written by Michael Innes, the pseudonym of John Innes Mackintosh Stewart, a Scottish novelist and academic. In the original red cloth binding. Externally, excellent. Original unclipped dust wrapper is also excellent. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean throughout. Fine
