Add to basketBroché. In-12 (11 x 17,5 cm, soit le format poche), broché, 309 pages. Un des romans publiés dans la collection policière d'Albin Michel de l'immédiate après-guerre "Le Limier" (ici le n°7). Cette collection, dirigée par Alexandre Ralli (qui dirigea la collection "L'Empreinte" lors de l'entre-deux guerres), fut créée en 1946 et s'éteindra en 1955 après 53 volumes parus. Essentiellement occupée par des romans à énigmes d'auteurs anglo-saxons, elle peinera à trouver sa ligne éditoriale et graphique (elle connaîtra trois maquettes successives, ce qui est beaucoup en moins de 10 ans : une noire et jaune (des numéros 1 à 20), une jaune et grenat (des numéros 20 à 30), et enfin une (des numéros 31 à 53) avec une couverture photographique couleurs. D'ailleurs, des titres des deux premières périodes seront repris, à l'identique pour ce qui est du contenu (y compris la date d'édition !), mais avec cette couverture photographique. Ce volume-ci appartient à la troisième époque de la collection : bien qu'originairement publiée sous le format noir et jaune, les cahiers ont été gardés (et la date de 1948 apparait bien dans le colophon), mais la couverture a été reprise sous la forme d'une photographie couleurs (réalisée par Geiger). Quelques incidents d'usage à la couverture, assez bon état général. Livraison a domicile (La Poste) ou en Mondial Relay sur simple demande. Le Limier Geiger.…
