The car is traced by the police, and to their amazement, among the four sets of fingerprints left by the thieves they identify those of a murderer who has been sought by the police for the past 15 years. Three of the criminals are apprehended and they all swear that there was no other person with them and they stole the car. The fourth set of fingerprints must be those of the Doctor himself. Is he the murderer? Can a man be a respected and famous physician and at the same time leave the life of a criminal? If so, how did he manage to escape the long arm of Scotland Yard?" -- front fold over blurb. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Damaged. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Novel -- Crime.
