The book is in very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling on the covers. The front cover has a crease across the top corner and a pin-size hole near the bottom edge. The contents are secure and clean with slight age-browning to the pages and a crease across the top corner of the first twelve pages. A small piece is missing from the top corner of page 13.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Y. First edition. 8vo. Original cloth. Dust-jacket, second impression (stated, and priced 3s.6d., with Benn imprint to spine). VG/G+, dust-jacket with some chips, closed tears and creases. The second of the author's famous 'Blackshirt' series, nothing to do with Oswald Mosley (or Rodney Spode), rather a 'Raffles'-esque character, author by day, cracksman by night. Early issues of the first and second titles are both known scarcities, especially in the jacket. The book itself has no impression indicated, suggesting it is the first; however, the list of works by the same author facing the title-page includes Passion, Murder and Mystery, which was not published until 1928 (BL). Benn & Fisher Unwin merged in 1926, and this title seems to have been absorbed into Benn's 3/6 Library in 1928 or 1929. The last time this title surfaced at auction was in 2019, when it made $1875.
