A propos de cet article

This is a hardback book. The book is in Very Good condition and has a Very Good- dust jacket. The top spine end of the book cover has a noticeable bump. The bottom spine end has a much lighter bump. The book covers are otherwise clean and bright, with tan linen covers and red lettering to the front cover and spine. The text pages are clean and bright. The inner hinges of the book covers have strips of toning. The dust jacket is in generally clean condition, but has several edge tears, a small chip to the bottom front panel and spots of wrinkling (most noticeably to the top spine end, matching the bumpin on the book cover). There is some light toning to the rear spine panel. The photo illustration wraps from the front to the spine of the dust jacket and shows detective Oceola Archer in action. " The authors intent was writing a proper detective story and made few, if any, excuses in the execution of that plan — like turning Carewe into Ruper Carnal's unofficial sidekick. Just so he can be there when Carnal, who represents the local law, examines the half obliterated mud print of a face and questions Gil Gobelin on his unexplainable fit of laughter. It's just more fun to have Watson, but when that same Gil calls in a private detective the plot slowly begins to resemble the landscape of a John Dickson Carr novel. Ocealo Archer is a gargantuan detective with an insatiable appetite (I also considered to title this post The Hungry Goblin or Feed Me More) and the demeanor of a jolly Santa Claus, but still waters run deep and underestimating him is a fatal error. Sounds familiar? I made a similar assumption, but you have to read the ending of this book to realize how different Archer and Fell really are. But I’ll say this, if this book was published a decade later, nothing could’ve convinced me that it was not written a conscious mock parody of John Dickson Carr and Dr. Gideon Fell. Nothing! Oh, there's also a jewel merchant, Waldemar de Windt, there to purchase a jewel knowns as the "Pekinese," who sets himself up as a rival detective — playing the Simon Brimmer to other detectives Ellery Queen.
