Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Good-plus. Stated first edition. Red boards, red topstain. NO dust jacket. Inscribed "To Pat Ball" and signed "Jonathan Latimer" to the blank FFE. (Robert "Pat" Ball was perhaps America's best pre-World War II African-American golfer -- when blacks were banned from the PGA and…instead competed on the "Chitlin' Circuit" of the United Golfers' Association -- but it's a common name and whether Latimer signed to THAT Pat Ball we can't be sure.) Third novel (called by some his "madcap masterpiece") by Latimer, who went on to become a screen writer in Hollywood, adapting Hammett's "The Glass Key" (1942) and Kenneth Fearing's "The Big Clock" (1948), among others, and eventually moving on to write either 26 or 32 (tallies differ) episodes of television's "Perry Mason." The 1938 Universal film of "Lady in the Morgue" (photography by Stanley Cortez) starred Preston Foster, Patricia Ellis, Wild Bill Elliott (billed as Gordon Elliott) and blonde bombshell Barbara Pepper, probably now best remembered as the first Doris Ziffel in the situation comedy "Green Acres" (1965-68). Wise-cracking detective mystery. 296 pp. Reduced from $540.As with all our items priced higher than $90, this item will be shipped "signature required.". Inscribed by Author(s).
