Morgan, Dan: The Minister for Murder, Richmond Victoria Hutchinson of Australia 1979
ISBN: 0091306701 Very Good Photographic
216 pages, photographic illustrator dustwrapper, eight pages of black-and-white photographs, indexed. Slight edge wear to the base of the book otherwise in very good order. "The Minister for Murder is the absorbing study of the rise and fall of a man who graduated from newsboy to solicitor, from alderman to State Cabinet rank, and from the New South Wales legislative assembly to the national Parliament. It is also the story of a sanctimonious pillar of society who instigated one of the most senseless and macabre killings in criminal history: the 1946 Chalkpit murder in England. Dan Morgan here documents Ley's early years, his 11 years as a parliamentarian and his ignominious trial at the Old Bailey. The picture which emerges is an amazing blend of power and piety, political intrigue and marital infidelity, company fraud and homicidal mania."

A Very Good + uninscribed copy which has a small mark and some light foxing to top edge with complete dustjacket which has a little creasing to top. A novel full of high comedy and suspense of Stanley Pitts, a filing clerk in the Admiralty, a small man in stature, ambition and cahievement, devoted to his hobby of photography and whose latest failure with the Civil Servive Selection Board did not matter to him. However it mattered to his wife, Beryl, a social climber, mistress of their house, with it's garden gnomes, wall to wall carpet and it's fridge filled with Cornish pasties. When Stanley's photographic study of 'Hoarfrost on Wimbledon Common' wins the Admiralty Division Photographic Competition on the eve of his expected promotion, never has the future looked brighter, so how then did he end up in the dock of No. 1 Court at the Old Bailey? Why was the sentence such a savage one? What part did Mr. Cheevers, crime reporter of the Sunday Sun, play in all this? First Edition Very Good Hard Cover 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
