First UK edition paperback with a full 1 to 10 number sequence indicating a first printing. The book is in fine condition with only a minor crease across the bottom left-hand corner of rear cover. A Lord Edward Corinth and Verity Browne mystery. “August 1939, the last hot days of a perfect English summer – war is now certain, this week, next week… soon. Lord Edward Corinth, newly married, is determined to spend these final days of peace quietly with Verity in their new house. Yet for Edward it turns out to be a busman’s holiday. The poet, Byron Gates, is bizarrely murdered after the village fete – executed, in fact, his head chopped off on a wooden block – and Edward is asked to investigate.” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
