"Marco was sitting in his chair in the little private beach on rocky Spanish Cape, and he was quite dead. The dashing, handsome despoiler of women seemed to be musing no doubt on the hold he. had over the frantic, desperate women in the house above him. For there was a faint smile on his strong and mocking face. But around his neck was an ugly line of red. The really startling thing about Marco's corpse was that he was naked....Un. d e r the long opera cloak draped about his virile figure, he was without coat, trousers or shirt - completely nude! Yet of all the people gathered at the house of Walter Godfrey, eccentric millionaire, on remote Spanish Cape, Marco's was the only. f ac e that did not wear the tense mask of dread. It was fortunate indeed that Ellery Queen, that amiable maestro of murder, happened to be vacationing nearby. He it is that solves the brutal and baffling case of the murdered philanderer, to the . min gle d horror and delight of the most hardened reader." Pages browned, wrinkling at top/bottom of spine, minor soiling to top edge of front board. Dust jacket has very light edge wear, a few tiny tears and crease at top/bottom of spine, slight . dark enin g to edges of flaps and on flap-folds. VG/VG.
