Octavo, [20cm/8inches], full gilt-embossed crimson-coloured cloth w/ mylar-protected and comfortably-chipped dust jacket, pp. 208. Laid on the Neapolitan coast, this confronts Captain Rizzi with the death- by poison, by drowning -- of the highest paid woman in the oldest profession, Margaret Lefevre. The man she wanted to marry, the Count, his father, who was trying to get her to give up his son, a homeopathic doctor or his jealous wife, or a wealthy man wanting to possess her -- these are Rizzi's suspects from whom he learns the final flourish of the design projected by Maggie's trade. Nervous but deft. [KIRKUS REVIEW Oct. 10th, 1958]. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. Seller Inventory # 23000
