London : Jarrolds Publishers (London), [ca.1952]. First British paperback edition. Later published in French as "Gin et Laudanum" - a Mike Shayne mystery: frightened little man at Miami airport pays Shayne over the odds for a ticket to New Orleans, and then there is the blonde who inspired the French title. Originally published in hardback in the USA in 1947, with a UK hardback from Jarrold's in 1950. Crown 8vo (19cm). 176pp. Original pictorial wrappers - blonde, gun, man, hat, telephone; all edges red; just a hint of rubbing and slight wear; slight cover crease; a few spots, but a very good copy.
