Moore, Brian — Wreath for a Redhead

Toronto Harlequin Books pp. 128. Mass market paperback. Page edges show publisher's red stain, with some transfer to top of rear cover. Slight spine slant, spine bumped at tail, some scuffing to edges, contents age-toned. Binding a bit dry and falls open to p.31, but sound. Harlequin 102; published in the USA as "Sailor's Leave". This is the first book written by Moore, who wrote a couple of pieces of pulp fiction while living in Montreal and working as a journalist; he later disowned these and considered "Judith Hearne" (1955) to be his first novel. - Wikipedia.
