Agatha Christie First Edition The Pale Horse 1961

  

Original boards, original dust jacket. First edition, published by Collins Crime Club, 1961. PH is said to have saved at least two lives after the readers recognised the symptoms of thallium poisoning described by Christie.

This was already known from her working as a nurse years prior. The story books takes readers on the journey of a dying woman's final confession and murder of a priest. A near-fine (+) copy, the jacket is unclipped. Excepting only minor wear to the dust jacket extremities and light touching up on its inside, this would indeed be a fine copy.
