The Silk Stocking Murders
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1941.
When the daughter of a country parson goes missing in London, Roger Sheringham receives a letter from her father pleading for help. As the amateur sleuth investigates, he discovers that the girl is already dead, found hanging from a door by her own silk stocking. It is presumed suicide, but when more young women are found dead in the same manner, questions arise. Was it merely copycat suicide, or will the case lead Sheringham into a maze of murder?
Condition grading: Fair. Wear, marks and foxing to front cover. Some creases and a spot mark to rear cover. Some wear to spine ends. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
