London: Women's Press, 1987-1991. First Editions. First impressions. Three octavo volumes (20cm) in original pictorial publisher's wrappers (softcover); 196+195+212pp. Near Fine to Fine, with some mild toning to the texts of the two later titles (as usual); Report for Murder is signed by McDermid on title page.
Hard to find first printings of the socialist-feminist author's first three Lindsay Gordon mysteries, which are also her first three separately-published works of fiction. McDermid's hard-boiled tales, set in the grittier quarters of Glasgow, established her among the leading exponents of so-called "Tartan Noir." These early works, issued by Women's Press, a small publisher specialising in feminist literature, are rather uncommon in collector's condition.
