With characteristic stubbornness, if not trusting naivety, she refuses to be detained and is immediately encircled by terror, while the jaws of a murder trap swing closed.Fortunately, Dr Gideon Fell is on hand, and when the murderer strikes with an invisible weapon, Fell accepts the challenge with brilliance and wit.Language: EnglishSpite of Thunder, John Dickson Carr, good copy (light signs of use on the cover and the pages are somewhat discoloured, but otherwise a very nice copy!)Penguin Books, 1966, pocket, 240 pagesPrice without shipping costs
