It Walks By Night
Middlesex, England: Penguin, 1959. Soft cover. 12mo. Good. Item #003548
Penguin paperback, 191 p.p. Wear to extremities, creasing to joints, spine and covers, darkening to spine, age toning to pages. Sticker ghost to foot of front cover. A few spots of wear to covers, chip to spine foot. A mangled body lying on the floor and a severed head staring from the centre of the empty room was what the police found in a closely guarded room in a Paris casino. Police had watched the doors, the window could not have been entered, and there were no secret passages giving access to the room. Yet a criminal had entered that room, committed the murder and had escaped, all within the space of ten minutes, without leaving a clue and without being seen by anyone. A mystifying and weird locked room crime novel by a master of the genre.
