Publisher's red cloth with gilt titles to spine illustrated dustwrapper designed by Youngman Carter. Minor dustiness to the top-edge otherwise a VG copy in a dustwrapper priced 12s 6d net to the inside flap as called for. The dustwrapper has a 1 cm closed tear to the bottom left-hand corner of the front panel. It is rather faded to the spine such that the red spine lettering is almost completely invisible a common fault with this title. Superb cover art by Youngman Carter. One of Simenon's scarcest titles and notoriously difficult to find in collector's condition. Priced to reflect the fading to the spine. Photographs/scans available upon request.
