The legend said its blade would drip blood if touched by a murderer's hand. It was an intriguing myth that the guests in the old country house decided to ex-plore. The lights were turned out, and the dagger passed from hand to hand, until someone noticed it was covered with blood-and one of the guests lay dying. No one had seen or heard anything unusual-except Albert Campion. And only he knew they were up against the most diabolic criminal mind of the century. This is the first Albert Campion mystery, originally published in 1929. CONDITION: Light wear to the covers, edgewear, original B. Dalton price sticker still on the cover. Spine creased and slightly rolled forward. Interior appears to be age-toned but unmarked. A good solid reading copy. FROM THE BOOKSELLER: Thank you for visiting the Dactyl Books eBay Store!
