The Hymn Tune Mystery

GEORGE A. BIRMINGHAM

Publication: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1931, Indianapolis

First U.S. edition. Minor spot to front cover with lower front gutter beginning to weaken, light offsetting to front and rear endpapers else fine in bright, colorful dust jacket with minor wear to front fore-edge. Carminster is the most beautiful and peaceful of the smaller cathedrals of England. The diocese has already had to deal with the verger's theft of Lady Carminster's emeralds and now the organist, Mr. Cresswood, has died after a drunken accident in the organ loft. Was it an accident? Why are so many of the newcomers to Carminster so interested in the musical composition on which Cresswood was said to be working when he died? A Golden Age mystery.
