Dead Mrs. Stratton: An Exploit of Mr. Roger Sheringham [original British title: Jumping Jenny]

New York: Grosset & Dunlap. Near Fine in Very Good dj. (c.1933). Reprint. Hardcover. [nice tight clean book with just a touch of shelfwear; the jacket is modestly edgeworn, very slight paper loss at base of spine, a few short closed tears at the top and bottom edges of the front panel (with the one at the bottom having also occasioned some creasing), and a tiny surface-scrape in the upper right area of the front panel]. "Another page from the career of Mr. Roger Sheringham, whose proclivities in the direction of beer and criminology have given him an international following. It concerns the unfortunate sequence of events which began with one of the most extraordinary of murders, and involves Sheringham, for the firt time in his career, on the side against the police." Berkeley (who also wrote as "A.B. Cox" and "Francis Iles") featured Sheringham in ten novels published between 1925 and 1934, of which this was the ninth. It was also published in England under the title "Jumping Jenny." .
