Penguin 1st Edition, published 1960.
Archaeologists expect to unearth bones, not bodies, and when Martin Cotterell finds the corpse of motor-car millionaire Lord Garnish in a ‘tump’ on the south coast of England, he involves himself in a sequence of events that proves itself dangerous, and at times very nearly fatal. At first, finding the murderer seems the same as finding the husband of Garnish’s glossy mistress, Mrs Vitrey. But the peer has been unloved by too many people for it to be as simple as that, and the story proves itself to be as exciting, subtle, and twisty as the chase at the end of the book.
Condition grading: Good Minus. Damage to top of spine. Light creases to right edge of front cover. Foxing to both covers. Wear to spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
