Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton
Date: 1938
Edition: First Edition
Features: File copy number 377. First edition stated. A classic case of the apparent suicide that proves to be murder. John Waterhouse's death certificate gives cause of death as gastric ulcers, but when his brother insists on the body being exhumed so that a post mortem can be carried out, it proves the case that poison has been at work. Will Douglas Sewell, who watched his good friend die, be able to use his knowledge of those concerned to unravel the clues and uncover the murderer? This volume once graced the personal collection of the legendary Charlie Watts (1941-2021), a luminary in the realm of rock music as the esteemed drummer for the iconic group, the Rolling Stones. Revered since the 1960s, the Rolling Stones' musical legacy continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Beyond his musical prowess, Mr. Watts was a connoisseur of detective fiction, fervently seeking the most exceptional and rare copies for his collection. We are privileged to present one of the select volumes that once adorned Charlie Watts' esteemed library. This literary treasure serves as a testament to his discerning taste and passion for the finest examples of detective fiction.
