London/New York: T.V. Boardman & Company Ltd. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. 1951. First Edition. Hardcover. [light shelfwear only, modest age-toning to edges of text block; the jacket is a bit edgeworn, with some wrinkling and creasing at the spine ends and at the lower left corner of the front panel, and a large-ish chip at the base of the spine that's been replaced and held in place by an old tape-repair]. The last of this former journalist's three mystery novels. (The middle of the three, "Be Still, My Love," was the basis for the 1949 film "The Accused.") During World War II, while her husband, John Truesdell, was serving in the Army Air Corps, she wrote his daily and Sunday syndicated newspaper column under his by-line. . (Inventory #: 27270)
