First Edition. Scarce mystery involving the abduction of a young woman. Octavo, original green cloth with gilt lettering to front cover and spine. Near Fine but for modest wear to edges of cloth, spine bit loose, small bookstore stamp to front free endpaper.
hardcover. Condición: very good. London, Ward Lock [c1895]. Octavo green cloth blocked in black and gilt; frontispiece. Title browned but an excellent bright copy. A re-issue in Ward Lock's uniform series of thrillers which could consist of the first edition, a reprint, or a re-issue of sheets with a new title page which, as this title page is on very different paper to the rest of the book, is the case here. The book first appeared in Chicago, then London, in 1894.

Decorative Cloth. Condición: Very Good (Minus). No Jacket. Reprint Edition. Lynch wrote under a male pseudonym, and is sometimes credited as one of the first women to earn her living as a mystery writer. But "Emma Murdoch Van Deventer" may not have existed either; presumed to be an American, but little or no reliable biographical data seems to be available. First published in 1882 [Hubin, p. 264]. This is a Very Good (Minus) copy of a reprinted edition from three years later. Purple cloth binding, now more of a dark brown. Decoratively stamped in black as "A Startling New Detective Story" with silver titling and decoration on the spine. Clean text; 557 pages, with a one-page advert in the rear. Many illustrations - frontis and 46 others within. Contemporary (1898) gift inscription on the FFEP, with a second signature on the following endpaper presumed to be the object of the gift. Publisher's cheap paper stock is toned but still quite readable. Mildly bumped; rubbing to head and foot now a light fray; hinges starting but keeping nicely. In an archival plastic protector. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
hardcover. Condición: very good. Chicago, Donnelley 1885. Octavo publisher's illustrated plum cloth blocked in black and silver (surface blotch on the back cover); numerous full page wood engravings (not without some crude appeal). Some natural toning of the paper but a rather good copy. I'm not sure whether the mystery of the first edition of this book has ever been solved but I can tell you this isn't it. Copyright dates of 1882 and 1884 have led some bibliographers to the conclusion that there is an 1882 edition but I want to know who has seen one. There is an 1884 edition but I doubt the supposed Sumner 1884 edition cited by some really is 1884; my bet is on Donnelley 1884 being the first edition. Emma van Deventer has been long established as Lawrence Lynch but I've come across recent questions about the existence of anyone called Emma Murdoch van Deventer. The publisher tells us that this "combines the excitement that ever attends the intricate and hazardous schemes of a detective . with . as carefully constructed and cunningly elaborated a plot as the best of Wilkie Collins' or Charles Reade's." This is not unreasonable, it certainly is elaborate. *This item might cost more to post than quoted by abe.
