Hard Cover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Heyer, Carol (illustratore). First Edition. 1st ed. fine in dust jacket. Inspector Chafik J. Chafik of the Baghdad Police Force was the creation of Charles B. Child (1903-1993), was the pseudonym of British author Claude Vernon Frost. Beginning in 1947, the Chafik stories were some of the most popular features in Collier's Magazine, and many were reprinted in the annual Best Detective Stories of the Year. The stories about Chafik, his wife Leila, and his adopted son Faisal whom he found on the streets of Baghdad are superlatively constructed exercises in detection, but they have a more subtle level. They are also explorations of a culture and a time and place. The stories begin when the British still influenced Iraqi politics, and continue through the period of the monarchy and the country's attempts to identify its place in the world. This hardcover is done in a very small print run. (appx 200 copies). 15 short stories. This is the third volume in the publisher's Lost Classics Series. At least 2 of the stories are Impossible Crime stories. Book.
