About This Item
Vintage with dust jacket.
211 p.
Dust jacket worn, including small tears and nicks, and lightly stained on back. Book has slight spine tilt, mildly bumped heel and tip of spine, light stain to top fore-edge and page 95, and previous owner's name in pen to ffep (pictures of these small defects are available upon request). Otherwise, the text is clean and bright, in tooled hardcover with handsome deckle edge paper.
From dust jacket flap:
1938. Summer in New York. Hedy Lamarr and Charles Boyer are starring in Algiers at Loew's Sheridan. "Old Man Mose" is a top hit. Damon Bunyon is writing for the Mirror, Ed Sullivan for the News. Furnished rooms are a dime a dozen. And somewhere in the city a psychopathic mass sex murderer is loose—a Jack the Ripper who eludes the police with brilliant finesse.
This terrifying novel will hold even the most blasé reader transfixed, gripped to the edge of his seat, and unable to stop reading. At any moment, another telephone will ring, another woman will make a date with a madman. Swiftly and relentlessly, the killer strikes—and strikes again. Only the reader and a worried young man named Lambert Post know who the murderer is and who the next victim will be.
