SHE DIED DANCING.
Edition: First UK printing.
London: Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1957. dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - Mystery by this husband and wife team originally published in the US under the title "The Blonde Died Dancing." The authors were best known for their breezy mysteries featuring amateur detectives (or meddlers) Jeff and his actress wife Haila Troy, and while this novel does not feature the Troys by name, it grew out of a novella which did. Basis for the movie "Come Dance with Me" starring Bridget Bardot (in which Connie Barton was once again renamed as Haila Troy) INSCRIBED "for the Liverights" by both authors on the front endpaper with the cryptic notations "C.O.D" and "pd 21/9/58" 192 pp.
Condition: Good in good dust jacket (usual toning to the pages, some chipping and edgewear to the dustjacket.) Still a decent copy of an inexpensively produced book with rather striking art on the front cover of the dustjacket. Books signed by the Roos are very uncommon.
