Mass Market paperback. Condition: Very Good-. 1st Pocket printing. Spine a bit slanted, slightly creased, a little edge wear and cover creasing. Light tanning but text is clean and unmarked. A nice copy. ; 1st Pocket printing, # 77434. Three post card sized advertisements tipped in -- Kent cigarettes, McCall's magazine, and the Detective Book Club (but I suspect their offer may have changed). ; 6¾" - 7¾" Tall; 207 pages; "There were two passengers in the transit lounge at Frankfurt Airport whose lives were to depend on what took place in the next thirty minutes. Sir Stafford Nye was a diplomat returning to London . . . A young woman sat down beside him. Her face was vaguely familiar . . . She was staring at him. Then suddenly she spoke -- a deep contralto voice, with a slight foreign accent. "May I speak to you? 'Why not? ' Stafford Nye said lightly. 'It seems we have time to waste.' This casual encounter on a Trans-European passenger flight to London was to lead them to strange and unexpected places, to encounters with people as yet unknown to them, into a maze of conspiracy and plotting and danger.".

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 21 x 13 cm- An attractive and unmarked copy with ribbon marker- Printed in Switzerland - " "Crooked House" like nursery rhyme, houses family, not dishonest, but overly dependent on the intense personality of wheeler-dealer beloved Leonides patriarch. Grand-daughter Sophia at 22 was proposed to at the end of WW2 by narrator Charles, son of a Scotland Yard Inspector Taverner "Old Man". Two years later, Sophia refuses to marry until they uncover the murderer of Aristide 88. His insulin injection bottle was filled with his eyedrop eserine solution; he warned the family himself of the danger. Youngest grand-daughter Josephine says she knows the murderer, is attacked, and her cocoa poisons Nanny. Charles is the inside investigator. "Passenger to Frankfurt" is the stranger, with hint of resemblance to long-gone sister, who convinces bored diplomat Sir Stafford Nye, to lend his passport and enveloping hooded distinctive cloak, that she might transit safely on to England. While he sleeps, drugged willingly by a Mickey Finn in his beer, announcements broadcast for Miss Daphne Theodofanous, passenger to Geneva flight diverted to Athens and danger by fog. At a London embassy dinner, she is exotic Countess Renata Zerkowski. To espionage master Lord Altamount, she is Uncle Ned's cleaner-upper Mary Ann. She guides Staffy through Bavarian Youth Music Festival, to elephantine Gräfin (Countess) Charlotte von Waldsausen, who was at Swiss school with his great-aunt Lady Matilda Cleckheaton née Baldwen-White. The obese villain's charismatic protegé, excellent singer and orator, "young Sigfried" rouses youth worldwide to destructive riots, returning Nazi Aryan genocide in a worldwide conspiracy of drugs, weapons, science, and moles." -" From a perfectly beautiful book, read two captivating stories with surprise endings. Caution: when you buy these stories don't dare read the last pages. What a fine writer!"-James E. Castle -faux leather binding-moderate rolling to boards corners.
