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: Fair. Heavy foxing marks to front cover. Old sellotape repair to spine. Reglued damage to top of spine. . Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
