First Dell edition."Colonel March, with his mottled face, keen blue eyes, and a stubby pipe jutting out from under his gray mustache, rules supreme over D-3, the department at Scotland Yard that deals with queer complaints and queerer people." . "When Scotland Yard comes across something outlandish, which may be a hoax or a joke but, on the other hand, may be a serious crime, they shout for Colonel March. His mind is so obvious he hits it every time. If he goes so far as to admit that a thing is a bit unusual, you can look out for squalls. It has been said that some call his department the Crazy House." [Quoted from the first page].VERY SCARCE. Seller Inventory # 97480
