About This Item
London: Collins (Crime Club), 1954. 1st. h/b. Very good, unclipped d/j (some bumping), text block firm, pages crisp (some foxing on edges).. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). The death of Greta Marais--once so famous among model-girls--was a seven-day sensation to the newspapers. But to the unsuccessful, small-time actor Roger Brand, looking down at the sprawled corpses of his mistress, it implied a terrible and frightening predicament. It was so obvious that he had had the motive, the means, and the opportunity to kill her. Written by actor, author and director Val Gielgud, older brother of John.
