Paris, France: Les Presses De La Cite, 1948. Good in a Good dustjacket. Bound in cream-colored wraps (pb); both the spine and the front panel are stamped in red. 220pps. There is a bit of wear to the edges of the wraps, particularly at the spine-ends. The pages are browning, though quite clean and, though the binding is brittle, all pages are intact. No previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve and utilizing the same front panel artwork as the American first edition, is chipped along the spine-ends and is rubbed and torn along the folds; the rear white panel is somewhat toned and soiled. This edition preceeds even the British debut by four years: a rare and interesting item for collectors of noir and hardboiled fiction. Translated into the French by Gilles-Maurice Dumoulin.
