Smith-Hughes, Jack SIX VENTURES IN VILLAINY
London, England Cassell & Company, Ltd. 1955 1st Edition; 1st Printing Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
B&W Photographs; This book is in Near Fine condition and has a Near Fine dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. There is some light rubbing to the bottom edges of the book covers. The text pages are clean and bright. The dust jacket has a couple of beginning nicks and rubbed spots and has some light toning to the white portions of the rear cover. "His new collection of criminals is selected from the robust days of George III, and comprises two ventures in kidnapping, two pursuits of lechery and two examples of the results of cupidity. The first group includes the case of an ex-member of Parliament who had his wife seized in the middle of Oxford Street and carried off to the Pennines; the second group provides an account of Lord Baltimore's alleged rape of a puritan millineress in his efforts to stock the harem he had built in his ancestral home at Epsom; the third tells of a carefully planned attempt at committing the perfect murder, an murder which, though it took place in 1805, might well suplly the plot of a modern detective novel."
