Hardback dustjacket, Ernest Benn, 1933.) This historical crime fiction novel by David Sharp is about Professor Fielding and his involvement in the activities of a clever and idle young man who has taken to crime less for a living than because the other learned professions are over-crowded now-a-days. In his way he is unscrupulous and as able as Sheridan Orford against whom he eventually finds himself matched. George is likeable. He is the gifted amateur of crime rather than the professional crook. (SCARCE. This is the black boards state. Red boards state also known. Price on jacket flap: 7/6.).
