JAMESON, STORM. — Before the Crossing.

London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd, 1947. 1st edition. "Although this book is concerned with the search for a murderer, it is not a detective novel, and its excitements are not the same excitements of a detective novel..David Renn became a spy because of his passionate curiosity about what moves behind the eyes and in the dark heart, and because he was employed to keep an eye on traitors and might-be traitors.." Pp.279. Crimson cloth, dustwrapper (designed by Jack Matthew) rubbed with one centimeter tear to top of spine. VG/G+.
