Bloody Murder: From the Detective Story to the Crime Novel - A History by Julian Symons

A very good condition hardback book published in 1972. The red cover/boards are intact and unmarked with gilt lettering to spine. The binding is very good. The pages are complete and clean. The book jacket is complete, spine slightly faded, minor chipping to edges. A barcode is stuck to the rear of the dust jacket. A very interesting commentary and review of crime fiction novels.
