Whistle Up the Devil

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £2.18
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The Washington Post calls Whistle Up the Devil "dazzling" and "a masterpiece."Publisher's Weekly's starred review calls it "one of the most intelligent and crafty impossible murder novels of all time."Roger Querrin died alone in a locked and guarded room, beyond the reach of human hands. Algy Lawrence ...could not explain the mystery of this "miracle" murder. And then, faced with a second crime which could not possibly have been committed, he began to wonder, at last, if somebody had conjured up an invisible demon who could blast out locks and walk through solid walls... Locked Room International translates and publishes impossible crime/locked room works from all over the world, including the works of Paul Halter, regarded by many as the successor to John Dickson Carr.
