Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1942

8vo, pp. 267. Original blue boards, lettered in black to front panel and spine. Partly unopened. Illustrated dust jacket. Very slight offsetting to endpapers, otherwise a fine copy in an all but fine dust jacket with the lightest of wear to spine ends.

First US edition. Preceded by its UK counterpart, published in 1939 with the title Prelude to Trouble. The third Dick Marlow title.

A near fine copy.
