Penguin 1st Edition, published 1953.
It had been a typical New Year’s Eve party. But as midnight approaches, Mr Satterthwaite - a keen observer of human nature – senses that the real drama of the evening is yet to unfold. And so it proves when a mysterious stranger knocks on the door. Who is Mr Quin?
Mr Satterthwaite’s new friend is an enigma. Throughout this collection of short stories he seems to appear and disappear almost like a trick of the light. In fact, the only consistent thing about him is that his presence is always an omen – sometimes good, but sometimes deadly.
Condition grading: Fair. Annotations to inside front cover and first page (see photos). Taped tear to rear cover (see photos). Light creases to front cover. Some wear and creasing to spine. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
