The Documents In The Case
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1937.
The grotesquely grinning corpse in the Devonshire shack was a man who died horribly -- with a dish of mushrooms at his side. His body contained enough death-dealing muscarine to kill 30 people. Why would an expert on fungi feast on a large quantity of this particularly poisonous species. A clue to the brilliant murderer, who had baffled the best minds in London, was hidden in a series of letters and documents that no one seemed to care about, except the dead man's son.
Condition grading: Good Book in Fair Dust Jacket. Minor wear to top of spine. Minor damage to bottom of spine. Minor foxing to spine. Dust jacket is foxed with most wear to spine ends, and cover edges. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
