A propos de cet article

- Octavo, 7-7/8 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide. Green cloth titled and illustrated in black on the spine, in the original pictorial dust wrapper with the original price intact. The covers are lightly bumped and rubbed. The edges of the soiled dust jacket are chipped and creased with a couple of longer tears repaired with tape from the verso. 276 pages with bright and clean contents. Very good in a good dust wrapper. The author's first book with the rare dust wrapper. This copy was published in 1936, the same year as the first edition. However, "First edition" is not stated.The first title in Dean's "Pat Thompson & Susan Barton" mystery trilogy. It was followed by "What Gentleman Strangles a Lady?" and "Three Lights Went Out"."Paul Andrew Thompson, Pat to his friends, and a private investigator for an insurance company, was assigned to investigate the strange death of Harry Mitchell, former big-time Wall Street operator. The investigation was unsuccessful until he got the tip which led him to Laura Hess -- ex-money, ex-husband, ex-society, but still a glamorous figure in the half-world of New York's night life. Unfortunately Pat arrives at Laura Hess's Sutton Place apartment too late to do himself any good. The police were before him -- investigating her murder." - Quoted from the jacket's blurb.RARE.
