Condition: VERY GOOD. Original book club edition. An omnibus edition containing three complete mystery novels - "The Case of the Buried Clock" by Erle Stanley Gardner, a classic Perry Mason novel; "Headlong for Murder" by Madeleine McCoy (under the Merlda Mace pseudonym) is the first novel featuring Christine Anderson, a young blonde Scandinavian from Minnesota, struggling to get by in New York City who isn't going to let anything get in the way of a promised vacation on the Connecticut coast; and "To Catch a Thief" by Craig Rice (under the Daphne Sanders pseudonym), the story of a man who turns to robbery to right the wrongs done by several wealthy stock market manipulators during the Depression. This is considered one of her best novels and is also among the most difficult to find.
