Item description from seller

This early mystery novel by C.W. Grafton (father of Sue Grafton) was the winner of the prestigious Mary Roberts Rinehart Mystery Contest and is celebrated for its fast-paced plotting, clever legal intrigue, and wry humor. Originally released in 1943, this Triangle Books reprint (#117) from 1944 preserves the noir charm and vintage appeal of mid-century American mystery fiction. Condition: Book: Very Good Clean pages, sound binding, light shelf wear. Dust Jacket: Good Complete and original, with moderate edgewear, small chips, and mild toning. A vintage mystery collectible and an important title in the legacy of American detective fiction. A must-have for readers of classic mysteries and fans of the Grafton literary family.
