Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Shilstone, Arthur (illustrateur). Very good condition glossy color illustrated board with a bit of wear at the upper front spine edge (see photographs). Illustrated with color drawings. "If you're not in too much of a hurry - Welcome, young readers! Those of you who have joined me before in these cozy collections of chills and suspense know that in earlier volumes I have explored various unusual fields to bring you exciting and absorbing stories. In the past I have delved into the world of ghosts, haunts and apparitions of various types and differing degrees of spookiness. I have taken you into the shadowy world of the spies and counterspies who are so much a part of our life today. I have picked out my favorite spellbinders in sheer suspense to share with you. We have, in short, adventured into strange and colorful places together. This time, though, we stand firmly on the side of the law. This is a collection of some of my favorite detective stories. In it we shall peer over the shoulders of many of fiction's finest detectives, to track down the malefactor and set wrong to right. We will pick up clues, solve tantalizing mysteries, and unravel riddles that seem impenetrable. I believe you will find this group of stories as exciting, as engrossing, as any I have brought you. Now the game's a-foot and the chase is on! Turn the page and we'll be on our way." - Alfred Hitchcock.
