First edition
A collection of twenty-three short stories from the mastermind of crime fiction, Agatha Christie, concerning the newly married detective duo, Tommy and Tuppence.
The Tommy and Tuppence stories have been translated into adaptation many times, and in 2015 the BBC aired Partners in Crime, starring David Walliams as Tommy and Jessica Raine as Tuppence.
Dodd Mead reduced the print run of this striking volume as it was printed in 1929, coinciding with the Wall Street crash.
