Item description from seller

First edition, so stated. Pages are uniformally age toned else a fine, bright copy of scarce title. "There were only about twenty people in Sowback Island, barring children and the Summer visitors. Yet on this little island off the Maine coast mystery was piled on mystery, and one crime led to other crimes and uncovered others still. Barney Gantt, the enterprising young newspaper photographer who has been met before in John Stephen Strange's pages, is sent to this supposedly quiet resort to recover from the effects of an accident. On the launch going over he hears something about a letter having been stolen from the island mail-bag. Before the mystery of that letter is finally solved, three people have been murdered, a man has been falsely arrested, a smuggling plot has been brought to light and a domestic tragedy has reached back to events of years before, in New York. "The Bell in the Fog," it will be seen, promises excitement, as well as suspense. The story is one which touches upon genuine human emotions, and offers what would have been genuine horror if the author had been as much interested in psychology as in plot. The incidents as a whole are well-handled in spite of the plot's complications. The island background is really colorful, and the story moves very swiftly. The author has combined the hard-boiled with the sentimental and the adventurous with the atmospheric in a somewhat too comprehensive ambition, but the novel can be recommended as generally enjoyable." -- NEW YORK TIMES, October 25, 1936. This copy, although not marked as such, originates from the auction of Gary Gorton's noted crime collection.
