Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good Plus. First Printing, Second Edition. The second of a three mystery trilogy written by Gore Vidal under the pseudonym of Edgar Box. Originally published in the early 1950s, the books feature a young PR man and amateur sleuth, Peter Cutler Sargeant II. In "Death Before Bedtime," Sargeant is hired by a Senator with presidential ambitions and travels with the politician's beautiful daughter to Washington, D.C., where the Senator himself is murdered shortly after Sargeant arrives, presenting the PR man with a locked room mystery and a house full of suspects. With an introduction by Vidal explaining his three-book venture into the mystery genre. Boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows a 3/4-inch tear at the bottom of the fold between the back panel and the dj's rear flap, and a second tear of the same length with a crease on the top edge of the front panel as other minor edge-wear. None of the wear significantly affects the jacket's design or lettering. It is not price-clipped. A decent reading copy of an interesting byway in Vidal's career. Seller Inventory # 005104
