With the illustrated dust-jacket, not priced. A very good copy in the scarce correct, un-restored and unclipped dust-jacket, which is lightly chipped at the top of the spine and rather more chipped along the top of the back panel, with similar loss to rear flap. There is no printed price, indicating that it was intended for export. A seasonal case for the great Belgian detective, from the queen of the Golden Age of Crime.
