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.
