Trixie Belden and Mystery in Arizona by Julie Campbell 1958 Whitman Hardcover

This is Trixie Belden and Mystery in Arizona by Julie Campbell, a 1958 Whitman Publishing Company hardcover illustrated by Mary Stevens, with its 59 cent price sticker still on the pictorial front cover.

The cover edges, corners, and spine ends show light rubbing and the pages are age toned, while the binding is firm and the colorful boards are bright, as the photos show.

Trixie and her friends head to an Arizona ranch, with horseback riding, a swimming pool, and suspicious happenings to look into. Chapter titles such as A Dark Stranger, Sobs in the Night, and Surprise for Mr. X set up the mystery.
