New York: Harper & Brothers, 1949. First American Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. 0x0x0. First American edition. Very good in good jacket. Jacket edges rubbed with three 1/2 inch chips, jacket spine faded,. 1949 Hard Cover. 236 pp. A purchase at a second-hand bookshop seems an innocent enough event. Tony Shelton hadn't expected it to be anything but that - and he certainly hadn't expected it to throw him head first into the world of violence, blackmail and robbery. For it becomes clear that the book has a rather higher price than he paid for it - a price that was to lead to murder.
