Synopsis
London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1947. First Edition. Original grey cloth with red titling. Heavy foxing to page edges and lightly to prelims otherwise internally clean and sound. Dust jacket is unclipped with rubbing to hinges, chips at spine ends and light staining but design by Bip Pares remains striking. Good. Gilbert's scarce first novel, a Chief Inspector Hazelrigg mystery revolving around murder in a cathedral close, is a classic of Golden Age crime writing.
