Called Back. A story of crime

London: The Detective Story Club, ca 1929.

Black cloth boards, gilt lettering to front, faded to white at spine, with the excellent and unclipped dust-jacket. Pages somewhat browned due no doubt cheap paper stock. Old owner inscriptions to front endpapers. Launched by the publisher William Collins in 1929, the imprint acted as a curated seal of quality for the finest crime and mystery stories of the era, which eventually evolved into the long-running Collins Crime Club. Thisi was the first title to be issued in the series and involves a blind man who stumbles across a murder. As he has not seen anything, the killers let him go, but he finds it is impossible to walk away from murder
