Item description from seller

First edition, first impression, of the author's first detective novel, introducing his long-serving Inspector Appleby. In the publisher's note, the reader's attention is drawn to the rear folding plate, designed so that the plan of St Anthony's College can always be in view as one reads through the text. An immediate success, the book was followed by a series of over fifty detective stories centered on Appleby. Stewart wrote: "I would describe some of them as on the frontier between the detective story and fantasy; they have a somewhat 'literary' flavour but their values remain those of melodrama and not of fiction proper" (quoted in ODNB). The book was released in the United States as Seven Suspects. Octavo. Folding plate showing a plan of St Anthony's College. Original black cloth, spine lettered in red. With dust jacket. Spine slightly leaning, a touch of wear at spine ends and corners, foxing to edges and outer leaves, folding plate clean; jacket spine panel toned, edges and folds a little rubbed and soiled, small hole to front flap fold, couple of nicks, unclipped: a very good copy in like jacket.…
