The Secret of High Eldersham
Condition: Very goodSlight chipping to the back cover and at the base of the spine, some tanning to pages, and a half-peeled sticker on the back from a previous retailer. Otherwise in very good condition.
"'They're terrible mistrustful of strangers in these parts.' Samuel Whitehead, landlord of the Rose and Crown, is a stranger in the lonely East Anglian village of High Eldersham. When the newcomer is stabbed to death in his pub, and Scotland Yard are called to the scene, it seems that the veil dividing High Eldersham from the outside world is about to be lifted. Detective-Inspector Young forms a theory about the case so utterly impossible that merely entertaining the suspicion makes him doubt his own sanity. Surrounded by sinister forces beyond his understanding, he calls on brilliant amateur Desmond Merrion — but does a young woman in the village know more about the secrets than she is willing to admit?"
British Library Crime Classics edition, 2016. There's slight chipping to the back cover and at the base of the spine, some tanning to the pages, and a half-peeled retailer sticker on the back; otherwise in very good condition.
