CHRISTIE, Agatha (1890-1976). Sparkling Cyanide. London: for The Crime Club by Collins, 1945.

Presentation copy of the first UK edition, inscribed by the author to her secretary, amanuensis and close friend Charlotte 'Carlo' Fisher: 'Carlo from Agatha'. The plot of this novel is based on the Hercule Poirot short story Yellow Iris which had been published in the Strand Magazine in July 1937, however there are plot and character changes, the main one being that Christie replaced the character Poirot with Colonel Race as the chief investigator. Hubin p.80.

Octavo. Original orange cloth (first text leaf with crease to lower corner, spine sunned, foot of spine and boards slightly bumped, top edges of boards sunned and stained); original pictorial dust-jacket supplied from another copy (slight creasing and wear to edges and folds, slightly rubbed and marked, price-clipped). Provenance: Charlotte 'Carlo' Fisher (1895-1976, secretary, amanuensis and close friend of Agatha Christie; presentation inscription by the author on front free endpaper, and with Fisher’s posthumous book label).
