About This Item
The Detective Book Club produced volumes of three crime novels from 1942 to 1999. Originally monthly, near the end they dwindled down to just a few per year. Many famous detective and crime novelists had their early works featured in DBC editions. Often, books were published in DBC editions before, or at the same time as they were published in mass market form. A little about our authors:
Georges Simenon: The Belgian writer is well known for creating the character Inspector Maigret, who appeared in 75 stories. Simenon also published over 110 stand-alone novels. As a sign of his importance in the literary world, Simenon has been the subject of books written by six other authors. This work is a collection of 14 short stories featuring Inspector Maigret.
Donald MacKenzie: Canadian Donald MacKenzie started out his working life as an international criminal on both sides of the Atlantic. He turned to writing about crime while incarcerated in an American prison. MacKenzie published over three dozen novels and a pair of autobiographies. Sixteen of those novels were in the John Raven series. MacKenzie died in 1993. This is the fifth of sixteen Raven novels.
Mary McMullen: Part of a family of mystery writers, McMillen wrote 19 mystery novels without ever resorting to a series formula. Her mother was Helen Reilly and her sister was Ursula Curliss. McMullen died in 1986.
