Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. Macauley, NY, 1933. First edition. A FINE book in scarce VERY GOOD jacket ( numerous closed tears with a few creases to some; tiny chips to top of spine; no tape, no damp, no stains etc). A bibliomystery. Mystery writer Braxton Hicks is famous for his puzzling thrillers where only in the last moment is the true killer revealed. His latest work, "The Skeleton Talks", is as yet unpublished. When he is found slumped over his typewriter, dead, it is man-about-town Bradley Holmes who suspects murder. A missing manuscript, a jealous author, and a grieving widow all play a part in this fun mystery. Not in Penzler surprisingly!

There is certainly no danger of this unsophisticated - and very singular jacket design - ever being canceled out. Ref. Hubin (1994), p. 257; Heller, p.18.
