About This Item
CHRISTIE, Agatha
The Pale Horse. First edition published by Collins Crime Club in 1961.
Description
Original boards, original dust jacket.
PH is said to have saved at least two lives after the readers recognised the symptoms of thallium poisoning described by Christie. This was already known from her working as a nurse years prior. The story books takes readers on the journey of a dying woman's final confession and murder of a priest.
A near-fine (+) copy, the jacket is unclipped. Excepting only minor wear to jacket extremities and light touching up on its inside, this would indeed be a fine copy. End papers clean and bright.
