A Coffin for Dimitrios

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1939. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. First American edition. Fine in an attractive very good dust jacket with a shallow crescent chip at the crown. Inscribed by the author to a noted collector of detective fiction. A nicer than usual copy, and very uncommon signed. A classic thriller, Ambler’s best known book and basis for the film *The Mask of Dimitrios* directed by Jean Negulesco, and featuring Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, and Zachary Scott. *Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone*.
