Beggar's Choice.

PATRICIA WENTWORTH

Publication: J B Lippincott Company, 1931, Philadelphia

First U.S. edition. Fine, bright, tight copy in fine dust jacket. Car's father liked to live high without anything to live on, so when he died, Car was left with a pile of debts, and had to leave the rather expensive regiment he'd belonged to. Unfortunately, his civilian job as secretary to Peter Lymington's father ended with the collapse of the firm, and its presence on his resume branded him as knave, fool, or both. Too proud to sponge on friends or family, he's at rock bottom ... and then he is approached with an odd proposition ... The desire to earn the money leads Car into a web of mystery, deception, and murder. An exceptional copy.
