HOLLINS, S.T.
No Ten Commandments. Life in the Indian Police.
With a Foreword by Sir Richard Crofton.
First edition. Fascinating account of over forty years in the Indian Police, serving in the United Provinces and in Hyderabad, Hollins rose to the rank of Inspector General; "Hollin's memoirs reflect a subtle mind capable of sifting the available evidence for the key to the crime which often rested in some native caste or religious custom. Hollin's sharply etched, fast-moving tales hold considerable interest and reflect the abilties of a master reconteur" (Riddick).
Octavo. Original puce cloth, title gilt to the spine. With the dust jacket. Portrait frontispiece and 14 other plates. Apparently a subscription library copy, remains on an issue slip to the rear pastedown, but overall very good in slightly tattered, but near complete, jacket.
