The scarce first edition of the last Berkeley/Roger Sheringham novel. In the original pale blue cloth which is somewhat worn and stained - most notably a 4x1cm. stain along the lower edges of the front and rear boards which extends on to the endpapers but no further. Internally the book is otherwise clean, unmarked and tight. A good or better copy of a scarce title which Crime expert and dealer James Pickard describes as "one of the rarest Berkeley first editions from the nineteen thirties".
Anthony Berkeley, a journalist as well as a novelist, was a founding member of the Detection Club and one of crime fiction's greatest innovators. He was one of the first to predict the development of the 'psychological' crime novel and he sometimes wrote under the pseudonym of Francis Iles. He wrote twenty-four novels, ten of which feature his amateur detective, Roger Sheringham.
