Additional Details

first edition. A very attractive copy. The pictorial dust jacket designed by Norman Reeves depicts a non-urban setting, appropriate enough in that this is one of Chandler's few fictions that largely takes place at a remove from Los Angeles and its immediate environs. Bruccoli A4.1.a.
