Item description
THE KILLER TOUCH
by Ellery Queen, AKA Charles Runyon
New York: Pocket Books, Inc., (1965).
First edition, first printing, paperback original.
"First printing October 1965" statement to the copyright page, "The Killer Touch is an original Pocket Books edition" statement to the front end-paper, and .50c price to the front cover.
Charles Runyon the noted hard-boiled author of THE PRETTIEST GIRL I EVER KILLED; THE BLACK MOTH; and THE SCORE (also written by Ellery Queen), offers plenty of suspenseful action, tough-guy and gal characters, a rich treasure trove, sharks, boats, and murder in this mystery with plenty of twists and loads of punch.
Crisp.
Fine, very tight and unread with a lovely gloss, (a minuscule rub to the lower rear corner tip) vintage front cover art depicting a dame's legs, a braceleted hand holding a gun, and a tough-looking guy spread-eagle tied to bed posts; original printed code 50494 and .50c price still intact to the front cover; all page edges red, as issued.
Mass market paperback original.
