Sobre este item
New York: Random House. Good in Very Good dj. (c.1944). First Edition. Hardcover. [ex-rental library book (marked as such only by a large stamp on the ffep), well-worn, soiling to edges of text block; jacket is slightly trimmed (i.e. just a bit shorter than the book itself), backed with brown paper, tape-stained along edge of front flap and down the middle of the rear flap (with a little loss of text on the latter), but still and all pretty clean and attractive]. Murder mystery set at a run-down chateau in the wilds of Quebec, the author's fifth novel in as many years. The rear-jacket biography of Mrs. Millar is a nice reminder that she was already well established as a writer at a time when her husband Kenneth Millar (the future "Ross Macdonald") was still a grad student at the University of Michigan -- and while she was also tending to her "housewifely duties" and looking after their young daughter. (Not mentioned in the blurb, however, is the news that Ken had already written his first book, "The Dark Tunnel," which would also be published in 1944.) .
