Strangeways immediately wins over the students and even becomes an initiate in one of their secret societies, The Black Spot, whose members provide him with some of the information he needs to solve the case…
Condition grading: Very Good. Light wear to cover corners. Light crease to rear cover bottom corner. Some foxing to bottom edge of rear cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
