Description:
London: Chapman & Hall, 1954. 224 pp, small 8vo (7 1/2" H) - maroon cloth with gilt lettering on spine, top edge of textblock purple. "Would you - in peace time - kill a man to save innocent lives, if that was the only means by which those lives could be saved? And, if you did so, would it be murder? It certainly would be if, at the actual time you killed, you did not do so in immediate defence of yourself or someone else. (This book) deals with the trial for murder of Alec Morland, who is alleged to have been guilty of killing a man in circumstances of that kind." Light wrinkle at top of the spine, bequest bookplate of the actor Raymond Massey to his alma mater on the front free endpaper, small label from a bookstore on the rear pastedown, very slight lean to the spine, light browning to the fore-edge and the bottom of the spine. Dust jacket is not clipped (has original price of 10s. 6d.), has light edge wear/wrinkling; light rubbing; moderate browning to spine, rear panel and… Read More

Description:
London: Gollancz, 1975. 207 pp, 8vo (8" H). "(A) brilliant collection of Michael Innes short stories about the varied adventures of his great detective, Sir John Appleby, Commissioner of Metropolitan Police (and, later, retired). Appleby has to cope with many diabolically ingenious modes of crime: a faked poltergeist; an exploding antique; a balloon to remove a weapon; an arrow to obliterate a trail. Many of the clues that lead to solutions are equally remarkable: a shubunkin in a pocket; the overpainting of a portrait; photocopies that have stuck together; a broken wine-glass; a coat worn inside-out; a London taxi-cab on the Simplon Pass. And the plots involve elaborate double bluffs: suicides designed to look like murders; X disguised as Y disguised as X; and in 'The Memorial Service' the tangle of impersonation develops into a triple - or is it a quadruple? - bluff." Contents: The Appleby File: The Ascham; Poltergeist; The Fishermen; The Conversation Piece; Death By… Read More

Description:
London: Gollancz, 1986. 188 pp, 8vo (8" H). "Clusters (a great English country house) is being troubled by bats - bats in the belfry, bats around the moat, as Lord and Lady Osprey complain to their luncheon guests, who include Sir John Appleby, sometime Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and, though now retired, still keenly interested in any puzzling crime. In the matter of the bats he is unhelpful, but soon he faces the challenge of a murder: the murder of Lord Osprey, stabbed with an oriental dagger, and in the library too. The conventions are properly observed. There's an omniscient butler, Bagot. The moat gleams darkly, guarding its secrets. Inspector Ringwood sets up his 'incident room' in the ballroom, which dazzles with mirrors, chandeliers and trompe l'oeil. The house guests include another title, a QC, and two or three experts on numismatics. And that last point takes us to the heart of the mystery: where, in this vast architectural pile, did Lord… Read More

London: Gollancz, 1974. 192 pp, 8vo (8" H). "Tytherton was shot dead around eleven o'clock last night. And now, next morning, (Chief Constable) Pride is taking (Sir John) Appleby over to Elvedon in the hope of interesting him in the curious affair of some stolen pictures. Appleby is not responding with any eagerness: he wants to maintain his retired status. But murder is another matter. Especially with such a varied assortment of possible suspects: Tytherton's young wife, who is having an affair with an eminent surgeon, a house guest; his mistress, Cynthia Graves, whom only yesterday he found in bed with his ne'er-do-well nephew Archie; his son Mark, who has just returned from several years in Argentina, and without announcing his arrival in the vicinity; his secretary, Ramsden, who is almost too efficient to be true; and a couple more house guests - the shady art dealer, Egon Raffaello, and the puzzling Miss Kentwell, who claims to be a promoter for charities.

Description:
London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1971. 348 pp, 8" H. "After the ICBM, the ABM, the laser, and chemical and biological warfare, the next challenge for agents of every nation and power bloc must be the Black Room. Fail in that, and what chance have you against the cunning sophistications of thought warfare, brainwashing and consciousness expansion used by the superagents of Station K? Kit Butler, composer in his late thirties, is drawn by a girl-friend into a secret interaction group operating in the remote Highlands of Scotland, where experiments in sensory deprivation are probing the frontiers of the mind. Butler has long been interested in freeing consciousness from the restrictions of everyday life, and so he agrees to help British Intelligence. The enemy is the international spy ring Station K, the plot takes Butler to a Prague seething with espionage organizations of every conceivable combination of initials, and eventually to Staufmann, the ugly, semi-mythic, incredibly powerful… Read More

Description:
Toronto: Hodder & Stoughton, 1947. 278 pp, 8vo (8 3/16" H). Original $2.50 price on dust jacket front flap. "Life for James Hyde, millionaire tanner, was dull and drab up to his fiftieth year but when he changed places with Hugh Selkirk, a gentleman adventurer, things began to happen. He encounters the Gatello gang, South American crooks; attempts to avenge a murder and takes part in the recovery of Joachim von Ribbontrop's three millions and a couple of diamond necklaces deposited in an Argentine bank, then stolen and brought to London. Whimsical Tommy Hambledon, of British Intelligence, enters the case and is assisted by Inspector Bagshott of Scotland Yard. In the merry chase of money and murder they have many hairbreadth escapes and once again Tommy proves his courage and resourcefulness. The bored millionaire of changed identity enjoys every minute of this terrific game of hide and seek with gunmen, hijackers, corpses and such, and so should every Manning Coles fan.

Description:
Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, 1986. 192 pp, 8vo (8 1/4" H). McClelland and Stewart Signature Series. Inscribed on title page: "For (in alphabetical order) ____ and ____ - With good, better and best wishes - Likewise much love - Ted, 18/3/89". "Fifty-three-year-old Montreal lawyer Geoffrey Chadwick (last seen in Edward Phillips' acclaimed novel, 'Sunday's Child) accepts an invitation for a weekend in the country with friends. His idea of roughing it is 'complaining about room service,' but at least it's not another Westmount wine and cheese party. This excursion into Quebec's cottage country becomes fraught with emotional complications and surface tensions; but the weekend proceeds as weekends do until the household is interrupted by three unexpected guests, in flight from the police. The intrusion of the criminal element into this upper-middle-class gathering is perfect fodder for humorist Edward Phillips. He exposes the comic and not so comic… Read More

Description:
New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1950. 255 pp, small 8vo (7 5/8" H). "John Mannering's wife Lorna had painted what critics considered the picture of the Royal Academy year. Perhaps this was why she wanted her husband to give up his career as the Baron, cracksman and jewel thief and Robin Hood of the London underworld. Perhaps she thought it would be more suitable for him to open a very small, very select gallery - one like Quinn's, the West End antique and curio shop with the curious history, which just happened to be for sale. But when John Mannering went with money in his hand to buy, he ran into mystery and trouble. Soon New Scotland Yard was wondering if the Baron was up to his old tricks again." Very light browning to three page gatherings, date and letter "A" written in pen on front free endpaper, minor soiling on top of textblock, light edgewear, wrinkling at top/bottom of spine. Dust jacket has several tears - some archivally taped, creases at top of front… Read More

Her picture was in every paper almost every day. She was pale as a lily, with blue-black hair and sloe eyes; and when she danced - Elsie had seen her several times at the Accolade - you could only think of moonbeams on a summer sea, or dappled sunlight in a shady grove. She was the kind of ethereal unreality that men went mad about. But to Elsie, as an employer, she was a flat pain in the neck!"
