The Mysterious Mr Quin
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1953.
Harley Quin is an enigma. Even his friend Mr. Satterthwaite is unable to understand how the man seems to appear and disappear almost like a trick of the light - and when he does appear it's usually in the sparkle of sunshine, or surrounded by a spectrum of coloured light pouring through a stained glass window. Indeed, he is Harlequin. The only consistent thing about the mysterious Mr. Quin is that his presence is always a harbinger of love or death. Quin and Satterthwaite appear in a string of short stories by the incomparable Agatha Christie.
Condition grading: Good. Light foxing to both covers. Some light creasing to spine with minor damage to ends. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
