THE SHADOW ON THE DIAL.
Edition: Probable first edition.
New York: The Century Co., (1927.). Hardcover first edition - The last of Seaman's mysteries to be published by Century. Mystery involving an antebellum mansion known as Pettigrew's Folly near the South Carolina coast - and a broken sundial, treasure buried to hide it from Sherman's raiders, and a hurricane. Illustrated with a glossy frontispiece and three inserted plates by Manning de Vere Lee (illustrator not identified on title page, but the plates are signed.) 224 pp.
Condition: Good overall in pale aqua cloth with black and yellow illustrated front cover (water damage to cloth covers affecting the upper part of both the front and the back, and approx 1 inch at the top of the spine - the contents are clean, the binding is straight and sturdy - so a decent copy of a very hard-to-find book.)
