This is a book club edition which lacks a dust jacket. The cream boards are a little grubby, are sunned at the top edges and the spine is discoloured (the flash of the camera is making them look white rather than cream). Some staining to rear board. Bumped at head and tail of book spine. Tanning to pages. Black mark across top edge of pages not affecting text. Previous owner’s name written neatly on front end paper.
SYNOPSIS: “As Sergeant Cromwell, Superintendent Littlejohn’s faithful assistant is attending the funeral of his uncle Richard, in the pretty Cheshire village of Rushton Inferior, he is shot through the head and his life is despaired of. The fact that Cromwell is quite unknown in Rushton raises the question of whether or not the crime was an accident or deliberately done.
Littlejohn, casting all other tasks aside, hurries north to the hospital where his sergeant is lying and there the surgeon tells him that the crime was committed by the smallest bullet he has ever seen. A shot from a pop-gun in fact…”
