Keeper of The Keys #47 1947 Dell-Charlie Chan mystery Earl Der Biggers Mapback

Description: Keeper of The Keys #47 1947 Dell-Charlie Chan mystery Earl Der Biggers Mapback series. Keeper of the Keys (1932) is the sixth and last mystery in the Charlie Chan series of Earl Derr Biggers; Biggers was planning on continuing the series, but died in 1933 before he could. The films continued the series for him. The setting of this novel is rural California, where Chan has been invited as a houseguest. He meets a world-famous soprano, Ellen Landini, who is murdered not too long after the meeting. Chan does not have far to look for suspects—the host is her ex-husband, as are three of the other house guests. Her servants, entourage and husbands all come under suspicion. Once again, Chan is expected to solve the murder, which he does by understanding the key clues—the actions of a little dog named Trouble, two scarves, and two little boxes. When he understands how the murder is committed, he learns the role of elderly house servant Ah Sing—the keeper of the keys.This book is in good overall condition but I have marked it as acceptable becuase the cover has some wear due to age and scuffing. There are a few little creases and some chipping along the edges. In addition, the binding is in good shape but the first two inner pages are loose and pulling away from the old adhesive used to secure the pages in the book. The page corners are not all curled, bent, folded or dog-eared. The book is free of marks or writing in pen, pencil, crayon, marker or highlighter. There's some toning along the edges of the inner pages due to age...but it does not interfere with the fantastic read of this great book. The book has been stored inside of a plastic tote and comes from a smoke-free home.
