(no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, light external soiling (mostly on spine), very slight fraying at top of spine, one-time owner's name plus date & place of purchase in ink at top of front endpaper]. A late-ish entry in the author's "Dr. Thorndyke" series, which commenced in 1907 and lasted until Freeman's death in 1943. In this exploit, the protagonist investigates the mysterious disappearance of an antiques collectors, whose body is eventually discovered in an Indian burial mound. Per Norman Donaldson, writing in Reilly's "Twentieth Century Crime and Mystery Writers," Dr. Thorndyke was "the only convincing scientific investigator of detective fiction, [an achievement that] rests not particularly on the accuracy of the technical details presents -- accurate though they are -- but on the impact of the 'scientific method' as a way of thought brought to bear in convincing fashion on the essentially romantic materials of the detective story." He also provides a further note relative to this title: "'Dr. Thorndyke Intervenes' uses as its basis the real-life Druce-Portland Case of 1907, whereas a fictitious excavation in 'The Penrose Mystery' was instrumental in bringing about a real 'dig' at the same site a little later.". …

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Reprint. (lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a nice-looking facsimile reproduction of the first edition jacket (a mismatch, but what's the harm?); see 2nd image posted with this listing) [modest shelfwear, some discoloration to endpapers and along front joint, remnants of old price sticker on front endpaper]. Typical Keeler madness, set in Honolulu and Chicago, and involving the protagonist's eccentric uncle, a collector of old safes (as one does), in one of which "had lain the weird secret of the skull of the waltzing clown." Per the jacket blurb, "this new Keeler novel gyrates as dizzily as a sky-writing plane -- except that, at the end, all the strokes in the sky spell Plot, Mystery and Drama -- in that extraordinary Keeler way!" NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, and although it's not a match with this reprint edition, it is a perfect fit and stills serves the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing.…
