Edwy Searles Brooks was a popular crime writer in the early twentieth century, writing under the pen-names Berkeley Gray, Victor Gunn, Rex Madison, and Carlton Ross. The series was published between 1938 and 1969 and follow the 'breakneck sleuthing' of Norman Conquest.
CONDITION
In the publisher's original blue cloth binding, found in the unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, generally smart, with just some light rubbing and bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Duel Murder is more worn than the other volumes, with some moderate bumping and light rubbing to the boards, a little loss of wrap to the head and tail of the spine, and a two-inch closed tear to the wrap at the rear board. The wraps to the remaining volumes are lightly rubbed with some handling marks. The front hinge of The Conquest Touch is starting, but firm. Internally, firmly bound. The pages of Duel Murder are rather age-toned but otherwise pages are generally bright and clean across the collection.
