Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. Jacket artwork by Gilbert Cousland. Ilustrador. Later impression. Later impression. 8vo. Original orange boards. Dust-jacket. First published in 1934 (in America, less edifyingly as The Boomerang Clue), this is Christie in breezy standalone mode: Bobby Jones (the vicar's son, not the golfer, a distinction the opening chapter enjoys) finds a dying man on a cliffside whose last words supply the title, and investigates with the aristocratic Frankie Derwent in tow. The question proved durable enough to be re-asked twice on screen, including Hugh Laurie's well-received 2022 adaptation. Incidentally, Christie's own account of the title is rather lovely: she said the idea came from visiting a friend for tea, whose brother tossed aside a book he was reading and said "Not bad, but why on earth didn't they ask Evans?", and she decided on the spot that a future book would bear that title, before knowing who Evans would even be. St John & Red Cross bookplate to half-title; a very good copy, in very good jacket. Book.
