Reprint of this Inspector MacDonald mystery, originally published by Collins in 1955. "An elderly lady, whose appearance gave her an Edwardian dignity, reported to the St. John's Wood police that her nephew had disappeared. At first it seemed that this was just a routine investigation, but a chance clue reveals that the police are faced with a case of murder. The nephew, Keith McAmboine, was an Australian journalist and, when enquiries in Fleet Street were followed by serious accidents to two of the few potential witnesses, it was obvious that the murderer was both dangerously active and well informed." Most of the works of this prolific mystery author, who also wrote as "Carol Carnac," remained out of print between her death in 1958 and the early 2020s, when a number of her books (as both Lorac and Carnac) -- not including this one -- were reprinted in the British Library Crime Classics series.

Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. (White Circle 285c). [moderately worn, encased in a plastic protective cover (as received, and which I've opted to leave in place, especially since it's taped to the book's inside front cover); previous seller's large business card affixed to inside front cover, one-time owner's ink notes on inside rear cover]. (A White Circle Crime Club) Series Mass Market PB Undated paperback reprint of this Lorac novel, originally published by Collins in 1954. A fairly late entry in this author's long-running series of Inspector MacDonald mysteries (she died in 1958), this deals with two young couples who to "escape from their drab and squalid London lodgings," take up residence in The Old Court House in Devon; attracted by its cheap rent, they are initially disdainful of its "mystery and sinister past" -- but then they discover a dead body in one of the outbuildings. The works of this prolific mystery author, who also wrote as "Carol Carnac," remained largely out of print between her death in 1958 and the early 2020s, when a number of her books (as both Lorac and Carnac) were reprinted in the British Library Crime Classics series. This is evidently one of her scarcest titles, with no copies of any edition listed online at the time of this listing. This book bears no publication or copyright date, although its catalog number (285c) marks it as one of the final dozen or so titles issued in the White Circle series, which ended in 1959.

The final book by this prolific mystery writer (published the year after her death), the last entry in her long-running series of Inspector MacDonald mysteries. "When Superintendant MacDonald visited Fellcock Farm, bought against the day of his retirement, he put all thoughts of crime and criminals out of his head. But even there, high the fell country above Lunesdale, he was forced to face again the fact that a policeman is never off duty. The discovery of a dead body in the deserted house at High Garth set him to unravel a fascinating and baffling case and put him on to a trail which led him from the fells to Dartmoor and to a figure in prison uniform vanishing into the mist." Published in the U.S. as "The Last Escape." Most of the works of this author, who also wrote as "Carol Carnac," remained out of print between her death in 1958 and the early 2020s, when a number of her books (as both Lorac and Carnac) -- not including this one -- were reprinted in the British Library Crime Classics series.
