Author: Leonard R Gribble

Date Printed: 1937

Description: Scarce. Twelve short mystery stories featuring Superintendant Anthony Slade including "The Kidnapped Film Star", and "Mr Burgoyne's Octopus". Original cloth hardback with the original dustwrapper. 255 pages. 

The dustwrapper has some wear, chipping and creasing (all shown in pictures).

A very nice example of this scarce book.
