Trade Paperback. Condition: As New. 1st Prtg. 1st printing, thus. A fine, unread copy of the trade paperback. The first mystery by one of the most acclaimed mystery writers of our time. The Close at Melchester Cathedral was normally a quiet place where canons, vicars, vergers, and others involved in running the great cathedral l…ived in tranquility, until somebody among them started waging a hate campaign against the white-haired senior verger. This troubled the Dean greatly, so much so that he invited his favorite nephew down from Scotland Yard for an unofficial visit. And what young Sergeant Pollock found was so disturbing that he was obliged to call in his superior officer, ChiefInspector Hazlerigg, a thick, square man whose deceptively sanguine exterior conceals a first-rate intellect. But even his presence is not enough to stop the murderer in their midst from canying out a very deadly plan. Published in 1947, ten years after it takes place, "Close Quarters" is the first novel from this acclaimed writer, who went on to win grandmaster and lifetime achievement awards from mystery associations in England, the U.S., France, and Sweden. Book.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Octavo with yellow boards in blue pictorial jacket; 251 pages; illustrations; 21 cm. Seems like aquite a fun read! "Close Quarters belongs to a class of mystery novel which, alas, is becoming to increasingly rare: the traditional detective story. It is a murder problem placed in a…special, closed and intrinsically interesting setting--in this case, the ingrown community of a Cathedral Close. It is filled with riddles, mystifications and deceptions, yet it never departs from the rules of fair-play evidence. From poison-pen letters to clues embdedded in crossword puzzles, it employs a whole conjuror's bag of tricks expressly designed to baffle and fascinate the reader." --Jacket copy. A very good copy; unmarked pages and tight binding; occasional very faint foxing spots; boards show light rubbing to edges and bumping to corners; in very good (-) jacket with edgewear and several small chips; now in archival mylar.
