About This Item
London : S. D. Frances, [1950]. First edition. Hank is taken off a big story to fly to St. Louis - there is a reason. The scarce second book of the second series. The book attracted forty-nine destruction orders (Holland. p.322). Later republished under the Roberts & Vinter imprint as "Play It Quiet" in 1962. Crown 8vo (19cm). (3)-128,[ii]pp. Original pictorial stapled wrappers - a Heade blonde in bonds, heels and little else; some very minor wear to tips and edges; a touch of rusting to staples; a few trifling marks, but a very good copy of a scarce and fragile publication. Just a single copy (British Library) located in major libraries worldwide.
