More Than Once Upon a Time; The Third Twin; Truth Game

Beschreibung

First editions of these three entertaining works by three well-known mystery and thriller writers. The first editions of these three works in the publisher's original cloth binding. With the original unclipped dust wrapper to Truth Game and the original price-clipped dust wrappers to More Than Once Upon a Time and The Third Twin. Gerald Kersh (1912-1968) was a British, and later also American, author, particularly successful for his short stories. His short-story collection More Than Once Upon a Time (1964) contains fifteen exciting tales, including 'The Spanish Prisoner', 'Fabulous Bargain' and 'The Molosso Overcoats'. This volume is scarce to see.Clay Henry's detective novel The Third Twin (1966) is No. 532 of the American Bloodhound Mystery series, and features Constable Simon Lorrimer solving a murder case on the quiet Bare Island. This volume is scarce to see.Douglas Hurd is a British Conservative Party politician who served in the governments of Margaret Thatcher and John Major from 1979 to 1995, and is also an author of political thrillers, such as Truth Game (1972), which completes this set. This novel combines a coup d'etat, an aircrash, an old love affair and rekindled jealousies. In the publisher's original cloth binding, with one original unclipped dust wrapper and two original price-clipped dust wrappers. Externally, cloth remains bright and smart to all volumes, with just a touch of fading to the head and tail of the spine to Truth Game. Spine slightly cocked to Truth Game. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for remnants of sticky tape to the gutter of the half title page of The Third Twin. Very Good.
