Hardcover. Condition: Good+. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [spine slightly turned, minor bumping to bottom corners, some light staining to covers (mostly rear cover), small bookstore rubber-stamp on front pastedown, remnants of some kind of label on front pastedown (but no other indicators of possible ex-library status), a few pages roughly opened along bottom edges, with some irregular tearing]. Novel about the travails of an iron and steel magnate who returns to his family in the Southern city of "Seminole" (presumed to be a fictional stand-in for Birmingham, Alabama), after a four-year dalliance with a mistress in New York. The central situation of the novel involves the accidental shooting, by the magnate's son, of his sister's about-to-be-lover (who had married another woman because of the father's opposition); the wounded swain, to avoid scandal, blames the shooting on an African-American truck driver, who is arrested and then killed trying to escape. This causes a great deal of hand-wringing and attempted covering-up on the part of the white folks, but ultimately they all do the right thing, and (in the words of a contemporary reviewer) "all the problems set up by the author are solved happily, except that the innocent Negro in the case is quite dead, and his loving wife left without either his compansionship or his wages," the novel thereby teaching a "lesson, if lesson it is, of somewhat doubtful ethical value." Well, maybe racial enlightenment was a bit much to expect from the wife of author Octavus Roy Cohen, one of whose specialties in the 1920s was humorous Negro-dialect stories, and who herself had once put together a book called "Our Darktown Press," which collected "several hundred of the queer quirks of expression that one finds in Negro newspapers.".
