INNES, MICHAEL — The Secret Vanguard

New York, Berkely Medallion. 1968, First Thus. Pbk. Book, Neat tight vintage copy. Successful minor poet, Philip Ploss, lives a peaceful existence in ideal surroundings, until his life is upset when he hears verses erroneously quoted as his own. Soon afterwards he is found dead in the library with a copy of Dante's Purgatory open before him. A challenge for Inspector Appleby. Very Good.
