Comments & Further Information

This is a first printing of the British Library re-issue B format paperback (130 x 198 mm). Introduction by Martin Edwards. The title was originally published in 1937  by Collins.  Read once very carefully.

SYNOPSIS:   “Mr Richard Dodsley, owner of a fine second-hand bookshop in Charing Cross Road, has been found murdered in the cold hours of the morning.  Shot in his own office, few clues remain besides three cigarette ends, two spent matches and a few books on the shelves which have been rearranged.

In an investigation spanning the second-hand bookshops of London and the Houses of Parliament (since an MP’s new crime novel Death at the Desk appears to have some bearing on the case), Ferguson’s series sleuth MacNab is at hand to assist Scotland yard in this atmospheric and ingenious fair-play bibliomystery.”
