Halfway House. A Problem In Deduction

ELLERY QUEEN

Publication: Frederick A Stokes Company, 1936, New York

First edition. Inscribed on the front free fly leaf: "To Shirley & Murray from the author 'Ellery Queen." A nice association copy to his sister-in-law. Spine panel a bit darkened, else a near fine copy in dust jacket with light wear to the spine ends and corners, three small closed tears and creases to front cover and one tiny closed tear to top edge of rear cover. The author's tenth mystery novel, "where Ellery Queen, crime consultant to the world-at-large, returns to his old love of pure and pungent deduction in what is unquestionably his most fascinating narrative of real people and subtle violence to date --- a modern TALE OF TWO CITIES by the master mystery teller."
