Garden City: Crime Club, 1929. First Edition. Ownership signature, else near fine in very good lightly chipped dust jacket with a few small tears. The front panel of the dust jacket is a color painting of a mysterious yellow and red face. The jacket has “WARNING! NOT TO BE READ AFTER DARK” on the front panel and spine. “It was a dead yellow face - the face of a mummy. The eyes appeared superhumanly long, like the eyes of an Egyptian god. The nose was shadowy, the mouth a mere slit. No hair crowned the high skull. Such was the creature who sat draped in a black gown in New York - the Emperor of America...he controlled the greatest and most insidious band of criminals the world has ever known.”
