THE CASE OF THE BURIED CLOCK; HEADLONG FOR MURDER; TO CATCH A THIEF.
Published by
Detective Book Club, 1943

Hardcover
First Edition
Seller: Bookfever, IOBA (Volk & Iiams), Ione, CA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
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. One of the pleasures of these omnibus volumes, which combine three very different works in one book, is the opportunity they create of discovering authors or novels which might be unknown to you. Published in compliance with the conservation orders of the War Compliance Board, it is surprising that the pages appear to be acid free, and are still white and supple, unlike many wartime books. 622 pp. Very good+ in tan cloth in a very good dust jacket (bookplate on front pastedown, some discoloration from the binding process on endpapers, a faint "old book" musty odor in a dustjacket with a few chips, some toning to the spine). These vintage book club editions are becoming hard-to-find in dustjacket. Seller Inventory # 85308
