It was part of the Collins Crime Club series, which adds a layer of collectibility—especially with that striking Maxwell cover art.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s what I found from recent sales and listings:</p><p><br /></p><p>| **Condition**&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; | **Sold Price (GBP)** | **Notes**&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; |</p><p>|----------------------|----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|</p><p>| Very Good (no jacket) | £15–£25&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; | Common range for clean copies without dust jacket&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |</p><p>| With Dust Jacket&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; | £40–£80&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; | Higher if jacket is intact and artwork is vibrant&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |</p><p>| Fine w/ Jacket (rare) | £100+&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; | Scarce in excellent condition; collectors prize Crime Club jackets&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; |</p><p>| Ex-library copy&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; | £10–£20&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; | Lower value due to stamps, markings, and wear&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; |</p><p><br /></p><p>A few collector insights:</p><p>- The Maxwell cover illustration adds appeal, especially if the jacket is unfaded and unclipped.</p><p>- Crime Club titles from the 1940s–50s are gaining traction among niche collectors, especially those by Street.</p><p>- Provenance or inscription from the author (rare) could push the value higher.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
