The Case of the Velvet Claws

This 1941 Pocket Books edition shows signs of age-related wear. The cover has some edge wear and minor creasing, but the binding remains intact. There are no inscriptions or library markings, and the pages are in good condition with expected yellowing due to age. No dust jacket is present, as is typical for this format.
