About This Item
New York, Toronto: Rinehart & Company, Inc., [1954]. First edition. A very good copy in a very good dust jacket with a color fade strip along right front edge and color fade to spine panel, a small closed tear to base of front panel. (21974). Octavo, boards. Crime novel featuring Timothy Dane private eye. The Dane character is a romantic, ..."is a shamus like no other in fiction: young, naive, tender with women, inept at machismo, incapable of escaping tight spots singlehandedly, resorting to violence rarely. There is about Dane a sweetness, a delicate simplicity as incongruous as it is memorable." - Pederson (ed.), St. James Guide to Crime and Mystery Writers, (4th ed.), pp. 22-23. Hubin, p. 28.
