Blood Upon The Snow
Penguin Main Series 991. 1st Edition, published 1954.
Private detective Mark East arrives at Crestwood, an elegant estate, to serve as a private secretary to archaeologist Joseph Stoneman. At least, East is supposed to be a secretary. Mr. Stoneman's nervous manner suggests that he's actually in need of a bodyguard. The estate's other residents—including a troubled hostess who confines herself to her room and a strangely solemn child — contribute to the fearful atmosphere. After a snowstorm completely isolates the estate from outside contact and the occupants start dying under mysterious circumstances, East must identify the murderer before it's too late for the entire household.
Condition grading: Good Minus. Section of title page missing (as shown). Light crease and light mark to front cover. Light foxing to rear cover. Minor wear to spine ends. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
