This is a book club edition. Bumped at head and tail of book spine and also at the top right-hand corner of front board, and top left-hand corner of rear board. Tanning to pages. The dust jacket is complete but is showing some signs of wear to the extremities; some creasing at top and bottom of spine. There is some tanning internally and also to the flaps. The rear panel has an indentation running down the length of it (which doesn’t seem to show up in the photo) and it is a little grubby.

The case of the dead roulette player has some queer ingredients and roots far afield. These include two recluses who live in the Island; an army colonel with a distinguished career, and a Strange English woman who during the war spent time in a German concentration camp.
Superintendent Littlejohn, of Scotland yard, peacefully erecting a conservatory for his friend the Archdeacon of Man, finds himself involved in a much more serious matter and ends up leading an international team of detectives with the shrewd help of the Archdeacon himself. ”
