Publication: Alfred A Knopf, 1926, New York
First U. S. edition. Near fine, bright copy in dust jacket very lightly faded at the spine with light wear to the spine ends and corners. A young man, tiring of town life, sets out on foot to tour the English country. A few nights out he sleeps in a broken-down, lonely old mill, and while there witnesses at dawn two men struggling. The early morning is heavy with fog and he cannot clearly see what is happening, but one man kills the other. He goes to the nearest town and tells what he has seen but the townsmen don't seem to show much interest. Do they have some reason to be protective of the old mill or do they know something about the men in the struggle?
