Half a Corpse. Ruby Millar. London: Eyre and Spottiswoode, 1935. First edition. Original dust jacket.
"The dismembered body is perhaps the most difficult of all murder investigations for the police, and this is the story of how a young Parisian detective inspector solved one of the most baffling cases of this kind. The investigation takes him through the underworld of Paris to a quiet provincial town and back again."
