Red boards… with black titling lightly worn to edges. Spine dulled and a little marked. 12mo. 256pp.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition of this tale of poison. Octavo, original publisher's green cloth. Very good in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Nina Miller Davidson. Scarce in the rare original dust jacket. Emily Coulton Dies (1936) is a classic Golden Age detective novel by Maurice B. Dix, the Anglo-Canadian crime writer who produced a…steady run of mystery fiction for Ward, Lock throughout the 1930s, including The Golden Fluid, Prologue to Murder, This Is My Murder, Twisted Evidence, and Murder at Grassmere Abbey. The novel centers on Emily Coulton, a woman completely crippled with arthritis, who dies from arsenic poisoning â" and the evidence gathered by Superintendent Mason and Chief Inspector Hart points inexorably to the old lady's niece, the wife of the famous toxicologist Dr. Fletcher, a setup that exploits one of the period's favorite plot mechanisms: the suspect whose very expertise in the method of murder becomes the most damning circumstance against them. Dix was a competent and prolific practitioner of the British detective novel at a moment when the form was at the peak of its commercial and cultural influence.
