London : Herbert Jenkins, [1944]. First edition. The suicide of gambling man Colonel Trevor brings Inspector Jimmy Brigg to a suburban greyhound track - and then, just as an outsider wins, a man falls dead. A nicely observed murder mystery from the veteran crime-writer. Crown 8vo (20cm). 188pp. Original orange cloth, ruled, blocked and lettered in black; a number of edge spots, but otherwise a very good and bright copy in the striking dust-jacket - the jacket with just very minor wear and a little spotting on verso, but also very good.
