ARTHUR, Frank. Another Mystery in Suva. London: Heinemann. 1956. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s black cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket, an excellent design by Peter Rudland. A near fine copy, the cloth clean and bright, the binding tight and square, the contents clean and fine but for a few light spots to the textblock edges. Light offsetting to endpapers, else fine. The dust jacket unclipped with some browning from an old price over printed, now removed. Else fine.
The author’s second detective novel, second in his Inspector Spearpoint detective novels series, again set in Fiji, and the first for publishers Heinemann, who call it ‘a straight crime novel, in the classical style’ (jacket). Uncommon in such sharp condition.
