Description: An excellent first edition of this early work by the Queen of Crime Fiction, Agatha Christie, being the first to feature Colonel Johnny Race. The first edition, first impression, with 'first published in 1924' to copyright page. Published in the US later the same year.With a leaf of publisher's advertisements to the rear of the work.A standalone work, The Man in the Brown Suit tells the story of a young woman, Anne Beddingfield, who picks up a mysterious piece of paper after she witnesses the death of a man in a tube station. The novel is the first to feature Colonel Race, a lion hunter and spy for the British Government. Race would become a recurring character, featuring in a number of novels alongside her fan-favourite Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot.Upon release, the work was met with mixed reception, with many hoping for another novel to feature Poirot. The work has since been praised both for its thriller feel and as the only work to explore a more emotive side of Colonel Race.From the library of Rolling Stone, Charlie Watts.A smart copy of this early standalone Agatha Christie novel. In the original decorative brown cloth binding. Externally smart, with marks to the boards. Slight rubbing to the extremities and minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with age toning due to paper used and the very occasional spot. Offsetting to endpapers. Very Good
