Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, [1954]. 8vo. 316 pp. Publisher's blue and green cloth, front board and spine stamped in dark green, publisher's unclipped (“$3.00") dust jacket (some edgewear to cloth binding, fore-edge of text block soiled; jacket spine sunned, jacket quite worn, soiled, chipped, torn). A very good copy in a fair jacket. FIRST EDITION OF CHANDLER'S FAVORITE OF HIS BOOKS, THE SIXTH PHILIP MARLOWE NOVEL.

Offered with the Thriller Book Club edition of this title (in jacket, some wear, very good).
