About This Item
N.Y.: Alfred A Knopf Inc: A Borzoi Book, 1947. First Edition, so stated. Lightr blue cloth heavily spotted, in dust jacket missing 1" piece at head of spine, light wear, not price clipped $2.00 price intact. When Kent Murdock, news cameraman who doubles as a private eye, steps into a case there’s always plenty of fast talk and fast action. But even Kent didn't bargain for the singing slugs and flying fists that dogged his trail in the bedroom murder of New York’s most beautiful radio writer -- who handed out keys to her apartment like a salesman hands out samples. It was only reasonable that Kent should be trailed by trouble -- for this time he was both detective and chief suspect! And that was reasonable, too, for he had shared the death-bed with the lovely corpse -- and there were pictures to prove it!. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/Very Good. Illus. by Storch, Otto. Book.
