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 the UK in 1942 by Hamish Hamilton.  Read once very carefully.

SYNOPSIS:   “When the police arrive at the holiday bungalow of the haughty Justice Ireton to find a man killed by gunshot and the high court judge brandishing a pistol, the case seems as straightforward as it is scandalous.  Yet, with the incongruous assemblage of physical evidence, the judge’s denial of any participation in the crime and the recent events of his daughter’s love life combined, the deceptively simple case is steeped steeped in complexity.

Enter Dr Gideon Fell…”
