Synopsis
From the cover: "KIRKUS REVIEWS says of LUCKY DEVIL: "Even if you don't know your Dow from your Jones, you'll tag along and watch the pieces fit when an elderly Jewish widow turns up at the morgue, having been pushed off a subway platform....In addition to the insider market stuff and tersely arranged flares of violence, Maling offers a handful of vulnerably memorable characters, not the least of which is Brock himself, the Swinging Bachelor Who Has Everything But maybe Nothing After All. Lean, sharp, funny, fast...." And PUBLISHERS WEEKLY says: "Maling's specialty is the suspense novel with a strong and interesting business background....The financial manipulations, the murky hidden truths are fascinating to watch as they slowly but inexorable come to the surface and Brock stalks a killer out West" This fast, exciting story is probably the best and most amazing of all Arthur Maling's novels--and should delight his many present admirers and win him many more.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Limited Edition. 243 pages. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with red gilt lettering to spine over black blind-stamped Harper insignia to cover in original pictorial jacket. First edition. In stockbroker Brock Potter's previous unseemly entanglements with crime, some forbidding financial complications intruded upon Brock's mightily appealing narrative manner and swank-nervous milieu. But here Maling has at last gotten his storytelling priorities in optimum balance, and even if you don't know your Dow from your Jones, you'll tag along and watch the pieces fit when an elderly Jewish widow turns up at the morgue, having been pushed off a subway platform--with Brock's name in her pocketbook the only clue to her identity. The connection is Brock's sterling assistant Irv Silvers, the corpse is Irv's ""Aunt"" Sarah, and soon mild-gone-wild Irv takes off for Salt Lake City to track down the murderer. And when Irv nearly dies in a hit-and-run out there, Brock and Irv's family also go west--to find out about Aunt Sarah's supposedly worthless stock (50,000 shares) in the Lucky Devil uranium and silver mines. In addition to the insider market stuff and tersely arranged flares of violence, Maling offers a handful of vulnerably memorable characters, not the least of which is Brock himself, the Swinging Bachelor Who Has Everything but Maybe Nothing After All. Lean, sharp, funny, fast--. Condition: Remainder strike to heal end pages, pages beginning to age toned. Jacket closed tear at front head edge else near in like jacket. Seller Inventory # L5346
