Pictorial Wrappers. Condición: Fine. No Jacket. Cross, Gail Ilustrador. First Printing. 1st prtg. Fine, unread copy of trade paperback, still in shrinkwrap. Cover design by Gail Cross. Join four generations of Ambrose Ganelon as they protect the colorful European principality of San Sebastiano from the intrigues of Ludwig Wong and his infamous descendants. Ambrose Ganelon I, working in the mid-19th century and using classic armchair-detective skills, must use his powers of perception to puzzle out such mysteries as the "Flower Diet," whose acolytes claim to gain sustenance only through the aroma of flowers. The second Ganelon, preferring scientific reasoning, finds himself embroiled in the international intrigue of Europe at the dawn of World War I especially when he must discover who murdered a Serbian national, and why he was holding seven artificial noses. The hardboiled third generation of Ganelons, Ambrose Ganelon III, is at the center of mystery when he discovers he s the target of a murder plot. And the near penniless Ambrose Ganelon IV still manages to find intrigue and mystery, even though his predecessors have all but eliminated crime from his homeland. Combining wit with solid mysteries, "A Pocket Full of Noses "will keep you guessing. Included are 12 stories, as well as an introduction by author James Powell, and a checklist of the author s mystery fiction. Book.

Pictorial Wrappers. Condición: Fine. First Printing. 1st printing. A Fine, unread copy of the trade paperback, still in shrinkwrap. Eighteen stories. TWO THOUSAND YEARS OF MURDER!!!! Iddo the Samaritan finds a severed head in a barrel of fish. A stammerer tries to save the life of the Emperor Charlemagne. William the Conqueror stares death in the face. Gerald of Wales solves a crime with the help of a shoulder blade of a ram. Nicholas Bracewell encounters murder on the high seas. A deadly assassin stalks a Victorian politician. A mild-mannered author is driven to an act of slaughter. Someone steals the statue of Nelson from the top of his column in Trafalgar Square. A violinist plots the death of a female musician. Friends fall out on a boat trip to France and one of them disappears overboard. Edward Marston's mystery stories cover two thousand years of history yet they all have an eerie topicality. What does vary is the mode of detection. While a Samaritan in the Holy Land has to rely on instinct to catch a villain, the Scotland Yard detectives who hunt for the missing Lord Nelson can call on all the resources of modern technology. Horror and humor walk hand in hand in these yarns. Crimes of all kinds are woven into them but the abiding theme is murder - of a person, of a hope, of a reputation. The Guardian wrote: "Consummate storytelling, a love of period and astute characterisation and plotting are the hallmarks of all Marston's books.". Trade Paperback.

Pictorial Wrappers. Condición: As New. First Edition. 1st ed. Fine, unread copy, still in shrinkwrap of the trade paperback published simultaneously with the hardcover. Low print run as the publisher states that "The first printing of each book will be small perhaps 400-500 copies, divided between clothbound copies in dustjacket, and trade softcover." Hugh Pentecost, the pseudonym of Judson Philips (1903-1989), created one of the most memorable of fictional sleuths in the red-bearded artist, John Jericho. The stories combine interesting settings, skillful puzzles, social concerns, and earnest melodrama. Jericho's paintings reflect his anger against social injustice and violence, and his search for Truth; and when the downtrodden, the unfairly accused, and (frequently) a damsel in distress seek his help, he is willing to enter the fray. Jericho's skills as a detective are his skills as an artist. His painter's eye picks up details that others miss. And the energy he puts on his canvasses is reflected in the physical energy with which he fights for Truth. The 15 stories in The Battles of Jericho, written between 1964 and 1976, are filled with the social unrest of that turbulent era, tempered with Jericho's (and Pentecost's) belief in individual responsibility. The Battles of Jericho is the 26th in Crippen & Landru's highly praised "Lost Classics" series - new collections by great writers of traditional mysteries. Introduction by S.T. Karnick. Afterword by the author's son, Daniel Philips. Cover by Gail Cross. Book.

Fine, unread copy still in shrinkwrap. Low print run as the publisher states that "The first printing of each book will be small perhaps 400-500 copies, divided between clothbound copies in dustjacket, and trade softcover. Philip Wylie (1902-1971) was a prolific writer whose stories were, in the words of editor Bill Pronzini, "controversial, provocative, iconoclastic" and unafraid to question cultural sensibilities and critique American mores. As a result, his detective fiction was among the most ingenious and innovative of his generation. Included in this collection are six of his best mysteries where, in order to discover the solution, you will be forced to see through the mayhem of a hurricane in the Florida Keys, find something unnatural in a death by heart attack, join an Olympic swimmer as he matches wits with a ruthless murderer, and find which weapon (out of ten thousand!) was used to bludgeon someone to death in the New York Museum of Natural History. Edited and with an introduction by Bill Pronzini. Ten Thousand Blunt Instruments is the 29th in Crippen & Landru's "Lost Classics" series - new collections by great writers of traditional mysteries.

Pictorial Wrappers. Condición: As New. No Jacket. Miller, Deborah Ilustrador. 1st Prtg. 1st printing. A fine, unread copy of the trade paperback, still in shrinkwrao, published simultaneously with the limited edition. The Era of Wonderful Nonesense was over, replaced by the grimmer, grittier world of the Great Depression. But millionaire autodidact polymath Akhenaton Beelzebub Chase and his brilliant, lissome associate Claire Delacroix, live on comfortably in their neo-Tudor mansion in the hills above Berkeley, California. It is a milieu reminiscent of the surrondings of Philo Vance, young Ellery Queen, and other amateur sleuths of that bygone era. But their luxuriant lives are interrupted when the head of the San Francisco Police Dept.'s detective bureau, calls on them to solve bafflling cases. They must unravel the mysteries of a famous Hungarian actor found dead in his dressing room, two tiny puncture wounds in his neck; a deep-water explorer who disappears from his diving suit forty feet beneath the surfface of Monterey Bay; a test pilot who flies an experimental fighter plane into a cloud with a passanger on board and emerges seconds later, alone. The author plays fair with the reader, providing every clue needed to solve each case before its solution is revealed. Six cases with a new introduction by the author. Trade Paperback.

Pictorial Wrappers. Condición: Fine. First Printing. 1st printing. Fine, unread copy of the trade paperback, still in shrink-wrap. The 17th volume in Crippen & Landru Lost Classics Series. Philip Schuylar Warne, the first known person of African-American descent to publish a mystery in the United States, and Howard W. Macy, whose works predate Warne's, were popular dime novel writers during the latter half of the nineteenth century. Both clever wordsmiths, Warne and Macy demonstrate their skills in the two mystery novellas featured in this book. Published before detective fiction became a widely recognized genre, Warne's " Who Was Guilty?" (1881) and Macy's "The Mystery of Sea-Eagle Tavern" (1872) will keep readers guessing until both stories startling conclusions. In her introduction, editor and popular culture literature scholar Marlena E. Bremseth offers another startling conclusion. Her detective work has unearthed compelling evidence that Philip S. Warne was, in actuality, a pseudonym of Howard W. Macy.

Low print run as the publisher states that "The first printing of each book will be small perhaps 400-500 copies, divided between clothbound copies in dustjacket, and trade softcover." LOST MYSTERIES BY A PULITZER PRIZE WINNER !!!! Clues of the Caribbees (1929), a collection of detective stories about Dr. Henry Poggioli by Thomas Sigismund Stribling (1881-1965), was recognized by Ellery Queen as one of the most innovative volumes of sleuthing ever published, and is one of the books in Queen's Quorum. To the general public, however, T.S. Stribling was known as one of the leaders in the school of Southern Literary Realism, especially in his discussion of the plight of African-Americans in the South. His 1932 novel, The Store, won the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. Between 1929 and 1935, Stribling published a second series of eight Poggioli cases, which are collected in book form for the first time in Dr. Poggioli: Criminologist. Although they sometimes use stereotyped language for the Black characters (indeed for many of the characters), several of the stories, especially the extraordinary "Bullets," present a penetrating view of race relations during the 1930's. Dr. Poggioli: Criminologist is the 14th in the Crippen & Landru "Lost Classics" series. The collection is edited by Arthur Vidro and includes a complete checklist of Poggioli stories.

Pictorial Wrappers. Condición: As New. 1st Prtg. 1st prtg. Fine, unread copy of trade paperback, still in shrinkwrap. NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED! Four plays written during the early 1940s, two by John Dickson Carr alone and two in collaboration with the BBC's Val Gielgud. "Inspector Silence Takes the Air" is set during World War II at emergency BBC studios in a provincial town. There, a murder takes place - and the weapon disappears. In "13 to the Gallows", also set in a BBC studio, a woman falls to her death from a tower - it is murder, but no one is near her, and the only clue is a scattering of Arum Lilies. "Intruding Shadow" is filled with mysteries within mysteries, as Carr expertly shifts the audience's expectations from one suspect to another. "She Slept Lightly" features the ghostly appearances of a young woman during the Napoleonic Wars. The book concludes with an alternate ending for one of the plays, cast lists, and contemporary reviews of the original productions. John Dickson Carr (1906-1977), one of the greatest writers in the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, specialized in tales of seemingly impossible crimes. 13 to the Gallows is a major addition to his published works. The book is edited by Carr expert Tony Medawar. Cover by Deborah Miller. Trade Paperback.

Low print run as the publisher states that "The first printing of each book will be small perhaps 400-500 copies, divided between clothbound copies in dustjacket, and trade softcover. Philip Wylie (1902-1971) was a prolific writer whose stories were, in the words of editor Bill Pronzini, "controversial, provocative, iconoclastic" and unafraid to question cultural sensibilities and critique American mores. As a result, his detective fiction was among the most ingenious and innovative of his generation. Included in this collection are six of his best mysteries where, in order to discover the solution, you will be forced to see through the mayhem of a hurricane in the Florida Keys, find something unnatural in a death by heart attack, join an Olympic swimmer as he matches wits with a ruthless murderer, and find which weapon (out of ten thousand!) was used to bludgeon someone to death in the New York Museum of Natural History. Edited and with an introduction by Bill Pronzini. Ten Thousand Blunt Instruments is the 29th in Crippen & Landru's "Lost Classics" series - new collections by great writers of traditional mysteries. Published: July, 2010. Small Press.

Pictorial Wrappers. Condición: New. Heyer, Carol Ilustrador. First Edition. 1st ed. Fine, unread copy, still in shrinkwrap of the trade paperback. "The Confessions of Owen Keane" is the first short fiction collection by the Edgar-nominated and Shamus-winning author Terence Faherty. It brings together six short stories and a novella from the casebook of failed seminarian turned investigator Owen Keane. Called a "metaphysical detective" by the New York Times and "the ultimate amateur sleuth" by the Drood Review, Keane is a compulsive solver of mysteries. These mysteries can be as public as gang murder and gun running or as private as the loss of faith. But whether the stakes involved are large or small, these tales all feature the hallmarks of Faherty's novels: meticulous plotting, offbeat twists, and what the Philadelphia Inquirer called "a prose style that's a pleasure to spend time with." Included are two previously unpublished stories, "St. Jimmy," the very first Keane story, and "On Pilgrimage," which was written especially for this collection. The book also contains a new introduction by the author and a checklist of his novels and short fiction. The cover painting is by Carol Heyer and the design is by Deborah Miller. Trade Paperback.
