Short Description

Very scarce first edition crime novel from 1935 published by Hutchinson, London.

Part of the Superintendent Stevens and Inspector Pierre Allain series .. and following on from his novel of earlier in 1935 … Satan’s Mistress.

Octavo, 286 pages and one page catalogue. Red cloth covered boards with black designs and titling to front and spine, a pretty good dust jacket. A very good copy of a near impossible to get first edition.

Based in London, a well thought after, but regarded as a bit peculiar, detective comes home early to find his wife with a French lover ... she does not know he has spotted her in action - so to speak. Ravaged with jealousy he plans the perfect murder, and carries it out with some triumph ... but he does not account for the arrival of Pierre Allain from Paris. By a series of ingenious deductions and unusual police work Allain nails his man ... but it doesn't quite end as you would think ... au reviour! We love it!

Bruce Graeme was a "nom de plume" of Graham Montague Jeffries (1900-1982).

Rare crime first edition 1935.
