Seven Dead -
J. Jefferson Farjeon
1939 - The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Indianapolis - First American Edition
A rare example of what many consider to be Farjeon’s best work (the other being ‘Mystery in White’), in the fine bright sharp dust jacket. Featuring Detective Inspector Kendall.
Assumed first American edition, published the same year as the Collins edition of London, in a number of cases the Bobbs-Merrill edition was published earlier, and without further investigation we cannot prioritise which came first in this case. Both editions are rarely encountered in their dust jackets.
‘Ted Lyte, amateur thief, has chosen an isolated house by the coast for his first robbery. But Haven House is no ordinary country home. While hunting for silverware to steal, Ted stumbles upon a locked room containing seven dead bodies.
Detective Inspector Kendall takes on the case with the help of passing yachtsman Thomas Hazeldean. The search for the house's absent owners brings Hazeldean across the Channel to Boulogne, where he finds more than one motive to stay and investigate’ – British Library Crime Classics.
