Description The Dead Letter by Seeley Regester is a historically significant American mystery novel, originally published in 1867 under the pseudonym of Metta Victoria Fuller Victor. Widely recognized as one of the earliest American detective novels and an important pioneering work by a female mystery writer, this book occupies a notable place in the development of American crime and detective fiction. Set in nineteenth-century America, the novel combines murder, romance, family intrigue, hidden motives, and criminal investigation. A mysterious death and a letter containing potentially crucial evidence lead to an increasingly complicated investigation involving secrets, deception, and unexpected revelations. Metta Victoria Fuller Victor (1831-1885) was a prolific American author whose detective and sensational fiction helped establish the foundations of the American mystery genre. Writing as Seeley Regester, she produced The Dead Letter, a landmark in the history of American detective literature. This desirable 1979 Gregg Press hardcover edition is a complete photographic reproduction of the original 1867 Beadle and Company publication. It includes a new scholarly introduction by Michele Slung and was issued as part of the Gregg Press Mystery Fiction Series, edited by noted mystery historian, editor, and bookseller Otto Penzler. The copyright page specifically identifies this copy as the First Printing, April 1979. The edition was printed on permanent, durable acid-free paper, a particularly desirable feature for collectors seeking long-term preservation of historical literary works. An appealing collectible hardcover for enthusiasts of early American detective fiction, Victorian mysteries, female literary pioneers, nineteenth-century crime novels, and the Gregg Press Mystery Fiction Series.…
