Slight darkening. "Here Creasey-Marric studies a British general-election campaign, fascinating in its similarities and contrasts to our own, and examines especially its police aspects -- the protection of candidates (from burglars among other things), the dangerous activities of extremists of right and lerft (which go so far as the theft of an atomic device) -- and the regular police problems, which persist no matter what the electoral situation . . . The novel is wholly admirable, and no one else could possibly have written it. " Anthony Boucher; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" t... View more info

Ex-library, with typical markings and stamps. Spine has been taped, although it appears only slight creased. Covers are somewhat creased/bumped with some ordinary shelf war. "The Good Old Stuff" has been selected to give readers a taste of John D. MacDonald's great fiction. 'The Simplest Poison' is a straight detective story. 'Miranda' is psychological suspense. 'Noose for a Tigress' is about a woman who wanted too much. You'll recognize the inimitable MacDonald touch in the portraits of his characters -- professional criminals, city cops, afventurers, and amateur sleuths. "... View more info
