The second edition, printed the same year as the first.?In the original art-nouveau linear design binding. Printed the same year as the first edition, this copy is in a bright condition. An early edition of Agatha Christie's scarce Poirot novel, 'The Murder on the Links'. Wagstaff & Poole A Christie Bibliography. An excellent copy, with the eight pages of advertisements at the rear, firm and tight, slightly worn at the extremities, one small spot to the upper cover, head of spine very slightly creased.
A significant rarity, RareBookHub list only seven copies in the original cloth to have sold at auction, even more uncommon in an unsophisticated state such as the copy presented here. More than one contemporary reviewer compared Christie's writing to Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Christie's third novel, and surely one of her rarest, only the second to feature Hercule Poirot, the great detective here pitted against a distinctly unfriendly member of the French police, also notable for the amorous adventures of Poirot's sidekick Hastings, who falls for the charms of a red headed acrobat. 8vo., original orange cloth, lettered in black with art-nouveau linear design in black.
