London, Collins Crime Club, 1944.

First edition, first impression. 8vo. Original cloth. Dust-jacket, price-clipped.

Marina Hays accepts an invitation to a country house for the weekend and finds herself entangled in two murders, a disappearing swimming pool, and a courtship conducted largely by being handed boards to hold while her suitor saws and hammers, and by being addressed as Maggie and Malvina in preference to her own name. Published in the United States the previous year under the title The Black Rustle.
