About This Item
New York: Mason/Charter, 1975. First edition. End papers toned, a very good copy in a very good dust jacket with light rubbing, shelf wear to edges and spine ends, several tiny closed tears and a crease along the lower front edge. (22501). Octavo, cloth. The second Jacob Asch mystery. "Lyons is one of the best of the current crop of California detective writers; his approach is stylistically closer to Chandler, not as consciously literary and portentous as late MacDonald." - See Pronzini and Muller, 1001 Midnights, The Aficionado's Guide to Mystery and Detective Fiction, pp. 500-501. Hubin, p. 519.
