Black Alibi.

CORNELL WOOLRICH

Publication: Simon & Schuster, 1942, New York

First edition. Near fine in bright dust jacket with some very light professional restoration to spine ends and corners. The citizens of Ciudad Real were almost excited when news broke that a black jaguar was on the loose in their city. The police hunted down the black alleys and up the bright boulevards for the wild animal, but to no avail .... the jaguar had simply disappeared, and life in Ciudad Real went back to normal. Then, a young girl is found ... nothing left but a mangled, bloody body. The roaming black jaguar is blamed, but one man wondered if possibly there was NO black jaguar ... it was created as an alibi for the killer. Handsome, bright copy.
