About This Item
Stoke-on-Trent : Archer Press, (1950). First edition. "After what you have done to me ... kill me!" is the teaser tag on the cover - a torrid tale of girlish indiscretion, marital disillusion, passion and deceit. "The wages of sin are sometimes even worse than death" sententiously adds the back cover. Somewhat incongruously set in a respectable London suburb - Wimbledon, I think, from memory (McKeag was living in Clapham at the time) - but this versatile author in top form, abetted by a sensational cover-design by Reginald Heade (1901-1957), finest of all the pulp-artists - and one of his very best. Crown 8vo (18cm). 128pp. Original pictorial stapled wrappers; American price over-printed on upper wrapper; "Printed in England" stamp on title and copyright sticker on verso; a few faint signs of age; text a touch tanned, but a very good copy of a scarce and fragile item. Just two copies (British Library and Trinity College, Dublin) located in major libraries worldwide.
