Description: First edition. The U.S. edition precedes the U.K. edition by nine years. From the library of Alain de Suzannet, with the bookplate present. Spine professionally rebacked to provide a fine, bright tight copy. Charles Dicken's most important contribution to the detective story is Hunted Down. Queen's Quorum #4 says: "A fascinating tale of realistic detection, still technically rewarding to all students of the genre. Inspired by the career of Thomas Griffiths Wainewright, the infamous prisoner, the story transforms real life into "exquisite" Victorian melodrama." Housed in a matching brown cloth slipcase. A beautiful choice item.
