About This Item
First UK edition 1st printing, the 1985 Edgar winning title, Near Fine book flawed by uncut final two pages; these were opened badly resulting in a small closed tear and small chip to last page edge, while next to last page edge has a 3/4 by 1/4 inch triangular shaped chip, slight page edge toning, in a Near Fine jacket that is lightly sunned on spine with two very light, unobtrusive, overwrite lines on front panel. Signed by Wright on the title page. Very rare with price (flap shows pounds 9.50 net) and very rare signed by Wright.
Synopsis
The Suspect is a 1944 film noir set in Victorian times. It is based on the novel This Way Out, by James Ronald. Directed by Robert Siodmak and released by Universal Pictures, it tells the story of Philip Marshall, a kind but henpecked bank teller who strikes up an innocent friendship with a young stenographer. He gradually finds himself falling in love with her, but keeps the relationship platonic.
