The ABC Murders.
London: BCA by arrangement with HarperCollinsPublishers, 2006. [Murder-mystery] FACSIMILE EDITION, book club issue, first thus. Octavo (21 x 13cm), pp.252; [4], ads. Publisher's black cloth over boards with gilt titles to spine. With the striking dust-jacket, priced 7/6. Slightly dusty else a clean, near fine copy. A facsimile of the original 1936 edition, not to be confused with the Christie Book Collection series of facsimiles from 2012-15, which are in a smaller format. Another case for the legendary detective partnership of Hercule Poirot and best friend, Captain Arthur Hastings. After he faced death unflinchingly in 'The Big Four' and chose Poirot in an instant over his wife, his loyalty to Poirot is sure to prove useful in this Great Western steam train mystery, in which a murderer works through an alphabet of victims.
