The publisher's original black cloth boards remain exceptionally clean and sharp, with bright, unoxidised gilt lettering to the spine and firm, unbumped corners indicating careful storage. The binding remains tight and square. Internally, the pages are crisp and bright, free from any foxing or notable blemishes, with only a trace of mild toning to the text block edges. The original dust jacket is present, showing some mild age-toning and light soiling to the lighter panels, alongside minor rubbing and light wear to the extremities, but it remains overall a highly presentable and intact example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"743\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: First edition, first impression of this classic thriller by the celebrated English crime fiction author Margaret Yorke.
