Octavo, pp. [1-8] [1-2] 3-298 [299] [300: blank] [301: publisher's statement] [302-304: blank], cloth. The author's second crime novel and third and last novel. Suspense novel set in a snowbound Maine village by one of the masters of the hard-boiled school. "This is a first rate, virile piece of story-telling. It moves dramatically but in a restrained and effective manner towards its ultimate goal. Each link is securely fastened in the chain of events and by allowing fate rather than human initiative to decide the final outcome, it retains plausibility." - NY Times review by Mabel L. Rossbach, 2 February, 1936. [Reference: Hubin, p. 597]. Spine a little age darkened, a very good copy in a good to very good dust jacket with rubbing, shelf wear to spine ends, upper spine panel split from front and rear panels, glue stain and abrasions to rear of jacket from brown paper backing removal. (7664).
