The Dead Ringer.

FREDRIC BROWN

Publication: E P Dutton & Company, Inc, 1948, New York

First edition. The author's second book. Inked name at top edge of rear pastedown sheet (covered mostly by the rear flap), lightly rubbed at base of spine and lower front corner, else a fine, bright copy in an extraordinary fresh, fine dust jacket. Since the jacket was originally produced about a half-inch taller than the book, it is almost always found worn at the top of the spine—but not on this copy! Edgar award-winning book that introduces Ed Hunter and his Uncle Am, former private eye turned circus barker.
