Haunted Lady
New York: Farrar and Rinehart, 1942. First Printing. Hardcover. With "FR" logo on copyright page. Cloth in dust jacket, book very good, some tanning & offsetting to endpapers, jacket very good with light wear and rubbing, small chip to bottom right of front panel, light spine wear to head and tail, rear panel with a couple small chips and tears. Very uncommon in the first edition for whatever reason and especially in jacket. Sequel to Miss Pinkerton, it stars one of the few recurring characters in Rinehart's work, the nurse detective Hilda Adams. From the moment Adams arrives at the Fairbanks mansion, confronted by a swarm of shady and oddball relatives, many of whom seem desperate for their inheritance, it’s clear that something unseemly is at work in the estate. But not even she is prepared for the web of intrigue that awaits her therein. Very good / very good. Item #H30476
