Seller's Description:
Near Fine in Near Fine jacket. First British edition. 200 pp. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Near Fine with a spine lettering a little dulled, very slight dust-soiling. In unfaded and unclipped pictorial dust jacket that is rubbed and lightly worn along edges, back panel a little scuffed and dust-soiled, basically Near Fine. An attractive copy. A mystery written by Bob Wade and H. Bill Miller under a collective pseudonym, rare in both its first American and British editions. Orson Welles used it as the basis for his 1958 noir film Touch of Evil, which initially didn't garner the critical recognition or audiences it deserved, as it was drastically edited by the studio with re-shoots by another, lesser director inserted throughout. Today, in the version including Welles' notes, it is recognized as one of Welles' best films and one of the best films noir of all time.
