The Silent Witness, a first edition published by Farrar & Rinehart Inc. in New York in 1930, presents Melville Davisson Post’s gripping tales of mystery, where subtle clues and sharp deduction unravel complex crimes. This very fine copy bears no owner marks or inscriptions, with clean contents and uncut edges free of foxing. The unblemished covers shine vibrantly. Encased in a very good dust jacket, unclipped, with a small notch to the spine’s head, it shows minor wear. A standout of early American detective fiction, this pristine volume offers collectors a remarkable artefact of Post’s enduring legacy.
