Penguin 1st Edition, published 1950.
When Frances Ivory told her grandmother Gabrielle, "there's something going on" down at the gallery off St James's, it was an understatement. It was not just the little things - the broken Kang-Tse vase, a painting slashed - it was the climate of evil closing in on an old and respected business -the renowned Ivory Gallery in London. The subseuqent murder of the proprietor's son-in-law, Robert, sets the stage for another finely tuned Allingham mystery. 90-year-old Gabrielle Ivory, holds the key to the web of intrigue and danger that permeates the gallery.
Condition grading: Very Good. Bright covers. Some creasing and light wear to spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
