Framed For Hanging
Penguin Main Series 1346. 1st Edition, published 1959.
The quiet town of Catminster was suddenly diverted by a startling murder. All the evidence pointed to young Richard Groom, grandson of the late Canon of Catminster Cathedral, as the murderer. He had just returned from four years in the Amazon wilderness to find that Dr Morby, who had married Richard’s one-time fiancée was making her thoroughly miserable. So when Dr Morby’s evening glass of spiced rum was spiked with prussic acid, and when it became known that Richard had visited his ex-fiancée and quarrelled violently with the Doctor, Richard was charged with the murder. But he had five stout allies who believed in his innocence and they got to work to prove it.
Condition grading: Good. Some wear to spine. Very minor wear to edges of both covers. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
