Cover Illustration by Barye Phillips. Spine edge rubbed, a few cover creases, a few nicks at rear, paper is uniformally age toned, else very good. A gripping legal thriller b…y the Edgar Award-winning author who wrote the Peter Duluth Puzzle Mysteries as Patrick Quentin, also penned outstanding detective novels from the 1930s through the 1960s under other pseudonyms, including Q. Patrick and Jonathan Stagge. Eighth in the Series of Classic Murder Trials. There was nothing apparently remarkable about Percy Thompson and his wife, Edith. But when Percy is savagely stabbed to death, the proper appearance of their marriage collapses, revealing a dark side that will become the scandal of the nation. For behind their bland suburban veneer was a relationship already fractured by petty jealousy and a wife's desire for more out of life. A desire that was satisfied by young Frederick Bywaters, who found himself under Edith's spell almost immediately and would follow his devotion to the end of a rope --all the while proclaiming Edith's innocence. Written as both a compelling thriller and an observation of the law, morality, and the crushing weight of public opinion, The Girl on the Gallows is a classic chronicle of blinding love, cold-blooded murder, and inevitable justice. Patrick Quentin, best known for the Peter Duluth puzzle mysteries, also penned outstanding detective novels from the 1930s through the 1960s under other pseudonyms, including Q. Patrick and Jonathan Stagge. Anthony Boucher wrote: "Quentin is particularly noted for the enviable polish and grace which make him one of the leading American fabricants of the murderous comedy of manners; but this surface smoothness conceals intricate and meticulous plot construction as faultless as that of Agatha Christie.". Phillips, Barye (illustrator). Vintage Paperback.

Slight spine slant, spine slightly darkened, light soiling, small spot at cover looks like a price label was removed. Dr. Hugh Westlake; Massachusetts. "A song holds the key to murder in this Dr. Hugh Westlake mystery from the Edgar Award--winn…ing author who wrote the Peter Duluth series as Patrick Quentin. Quentin, best known for the Peter Duluth puzzle mysteries, also penned outstanding detective novels from the 1930s through the 1960s under other pseudonyms, including Q. Patrick and Jonathan Stagge. Anthony Boucher wrote: "Quentin is particularly noted for the enviable polish and grace which make him one of the leading American fabricants of the murderous comedy of manners; but this surface smoothness conceals intricate and meticulous plot construction as faultless as that of Agatha Christie." The affluent Bray family was known for throwing the most enjoyable picnics, and this one seemed to be no different to Dr. Hugh Westlake and his precocious progeny, Dawn. When their host's daughter breaks into a version of the old English folk ballad, "Green Grow the Rushes, O," no one gives it a second thought. Little do they know the song portends death. It begins with the bodies of twin boys found in the river, which connects to a lyric from the ballad. And before anyone can even recover from such a horror, more killings occur -- all diabolically tied to the song. With help from Dawn and his old friend, Inspector Cobb, Westlake must sort through an ever-shrinking circle of suspects and stop a murderer from striking another deadly note.". Book.
