1st pbk printing, November 1951, Dell Mapback #549. Small nick at spine foot, light wear, light remains of ink initials else near fine. Robert Stanley cover illustration. Rear cover: Map of "Boston" Mass. with 2 insets. Vintage Paperback. A hidden fortune in art, but before he can recover it, Kent must find the killer who stole the Jade Venus. Until the old art professor is viciously murdered, Kent Murdock believes that he himself is the only one who knows the deadly secret of the Jade Venus, which he has trailed from Italy to Boston. The unlovely daub of paint is worthless art, but it is soon apparent that somebody is willing to go to any lengths of theft, kidnapping, and homicide in order to possess it. Before Murdock catches up with the ill-omened picture and a very surprising killer, he tangles with a ruthless group of international hijackers and twice comes very close to death himself. All Vintage Paperbacks come sealed in 2.5 mil plastic bag and taped closed with removable tape which will not tear the covers if it sticks to them when the book is removed.…
