ELLINGER, Geoffrey. Bars of Gold
ELLINGER, Geoffrey. Bars of Gold. London: John Heritage. 1935. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s blue cloth lettered in black to the spine, in the dust jacket with vibrant lime lettering to spine and front board. A near fine example, the cloth clean and bright, extremities gently rubbed, the binding tight and very gently rolled. Textblock top and fore-edge a little spotted, the contents fine with a few singular spots only. The dust jacket price-clipped but vibrant and sharp, with a couple of small nicks and tiny closed tears to corners and some edges. A sharp copy. Scarce.
Hubin-listed. The author’s fifth of six mysteries published in the early-to-mid-30s. This one comes to life when Dalgety, managing director of a motor company, witnesses a woman standing upright in a moving car before jumping. Mystery ensues including down a Derbyshire cave.
