184pp. Blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine (dusty top edge & occasional spotting, some mild feathering top front free endpaper). In a matt, decorative dust jacket in Mystery Book Guild style (mildly chapped at head of sunned spine). First published by John Long in 1966. Neill Graham was one of the pen names used by author W Murdoch Duncan – others include John Cassells, Peter Malloch and Lovat Marshall. The Mystery Book Guild republished leading mystery novels at the rate of two a month, building an attractively uniform series of classic crime and thrillers. Its diamond design dust jackets are both sought after and pleasing. A little gem for lovers of vintage fiction. Some of the novels in the series are now hard to find in this or any other edition. Book covered in non-adhessive mylar wrap to archival level.
