A scarce signed first edition of Yet She Must Die by Scottish author Hugh McCutcheon (1909–1990), a versatile novelist, lawyer, and wit whose literary career spanned crime fiction, wartime adventure, and popular romance under the pseudonym Griselda Wilding.

McCutcheon, the elder son of Alexander McCutcheon of Renfrewshire County Council, was educated at Greenock Academy, Paisley Grammar School, and the University of Glasgow, where he studied Scots Law. After serving with Renfrewshire County Council and later as Town Clerk of Renfrew, he balanced his legal career with a prolific writing life. His works gained recognition both at home and abroad, with some crime stories translated into European and Scandinavian languages. One of his novels was even adapted into the BBC film “Pit of Darkness.” A member of the Crime Writers’ Association, McCutcheon was admired for his dry humour and narrative precision.

Yet She Must Die exemplifies McCutcheon’s skill for combining psychological tension with deft plotting - a thoughtful exploration of guilt and consequence in the postwar British tradition of moral crime fiction. Some wear to cover, foxing to pages, no dust jacket. Author’s signature on the ffep. A fine association copy from a distinguished Scottish author and legal mind whose literary contribution has long been underappreciated.
