Case For Three Detectives
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1947.
A murder is committed, behind closed doors, in bizarre circumstances. Three amateur detectives take the case: Lord Simon Plimsoll, Monsieur Amer Picon, and Monsignor Smith (in whom discerning readers will note likeness to some familiar literary figures). Each arrives at his own brilliant solution, startling in its originality, ironclad in its logic. Meanwhile Sergean Beef sits contemptuously in the background. "But, " says Sergeant Beef, "I know who done it!"
Condition grading: Good. Bumping damage to top of spine. Minor wear to bottom of spine. Damage to top right corner of rear cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
