Rear map by Ruth Belew of an exploded view of the 3 floors of the "Cranford House at Willow Springs / Where Poltergeist Leaves a Trail". Slight peeling of laminate, small piece rubbed out at spine edge, a couple later pages seem to be slightly misbound thus sticking out slightly, else a very good copy. From the Dell paperback edition: "What This Mystery Is About ---- * a nasty and nasal voice on the telephone, which gives a strange and cruel warning * A vicious caricature of a naked woman with a face which is a portrait * A loud knock on the front door -- and nothing more * A game of telepathy with a strange purpose and even stranger results * A very rude message written on a mirror in lipstick * Six liquer chocolates each containing a lethal dose of poison * A knitting bag that moves without being touched * A hallway festooned with a giant spiderweb of blue woolen yarn." All Vintage Paperbacks come sealed in 2.5 mil plastic bag and taped closed with removable tape which will not tear the covers if it sticks to them when the book is removed.. First Printing. Pictorial Wrappers. Very Good/No Jacket. Illus. by Gregg, Gerald. Vintage Paperback.
