" "Robert Hale as a publisher viewed public libraries as their main market, sometimes printing only enough copies to cover library pre-orders. Finding nice copies without library markings and dustwrappers is going to require patience". -Classic Crime Fiction website. A bungalow filled with hunting trophies is the background for a brutal murder. Dr Ian Jax has reason to believe his sister is somehow involved. She denies having visited the bungalow, although there were several witnesses. In desperation, Dr Jax calls in his friend, Bill Rice, a private detective. As Bill soon discovers, there are many candidates for the role of murderer. He finally finds the criminal - but not before danger and excitement appear on the scene." -- dust jacket. This copy, although not marked as such, originates from the auction of Gary Groton's noted crime collection.
