Later edition. The fourth Queen mystery. Former owner's inked inscription on the front free fly leaf and page edges uniformly tanned else a fine bright copy in dust jacket with light wear to the extremities. George Khalkis, internationally famous art dealer and collector, died of heart failure. After his funeral, his attorney found that the will was missing and immediately called in the district attorney.

Upon exhumation of the Khalkis coffin, they find that it contains not one body--but two!
