DEED WITHOUT A NAME A Golden Age Detective Novel
Lyons Colorado U.S.A.: Rue Morgue Press 2005. 1st prtg. A fine unread copy of this trade paperback orig pub in 1940. The victim knew the identity of his potential murderer but the clues he left behind were too obscure even for Inspector Dan Pardoe of Scotland Yard. Three times young Archy Mitfold escaped murderous attacks. Knowing the identity of his would-be killer and anticipating further attempts he contrived to leave behind clues that would lead Scotland Yard to his killer's doorstep. Of course Archy thought himself clever enough to avoid actually being murdered and assumed these clues-mostly bird sketches-would never actually be needed. Archy was wrong. Unfortunately for Inspector Dan Pardoe and Sergeant Tommy Salt Archy's clues were so obscure that they defied intepretation. World War II was only weeks old and it looked like Archy's brief flirtation with the pro-Nazi Nordic Bond might be behind his murder. Anti-German feelings were at their height during this "phony war" period as Londoners blacked out their windows to German bombers that were months away from attacking. On the other hand Archy's death also seemed somehow connected to the disappearnce of a camera-shy British philantrophist. It will take all of Pardoe's celebrated ingenuity to nab the killer. 1st Prtg. Pictorial Wrappers. Fine. Trade Paperback. Rue Morgue Press Paperback

Boulder CO U.S.A.: Rue Morgue Press 2005. 1st prtg. A fine unread copy of this trade paperback. The Golden Age of detective fiction was known for elaborate plots. This may well be the most ingenious one of them all. Emma Betony was content to live out her remaining years in a home for decayed gentlewomen when she receives an urgent appeal for help from a former student. Grace Aram is running Makeways a struggling boarding school for girls newly relocated in a former nursing home in Dorset far from the falling German bombs. But Grace isn't interested in Miss Betony's teaching skills. She needs someone she can trust to expose the culprit behind a series of troubling events induding the possible poisoning of one of the two remaining nursing paitents. What Miss Betony finds is an overwhehning sense of fear on the part of the Makeways' inhabitants. Miss Betony follows a series of clues that eventually lead her to The Great Arnbrosio a charismatic extremely handsome fortune teller with more than one trick up his sleeve. First published in 1941 Fear and Miss Betony marks the final appearance of lnspector Dan Pardoe. But it is Miss Betony herself who fights through fear and solves the case. Contemporary critics immediately proclaimed the book an instant classic with two-time Edgar-winning critic James Sandoe including the book in his Readers' Guide to Crime 1944 one of the earliest-and most astute-lists of the best books in the genre. . 1st Prtg.

SHADOWS BEFORE: A Golden Age Detective Novel
Boulder CO U.S.A.: Rue Morgue Press 2005. 1st prtg. A fine unread copy of the trade paperback. Originally published in 1939. In 1937 Prof. Matthew Weir was arrested tried and found not guilty of poisoning his interfering sister-in-law but most observers said his good fortune was due to a good defense counsel and an overly confident local police force. To escape the prying eyes of his unforgiving neighbors Weir packed up his family and moved to them into a smallish Tudor manor house not too far from Oxford. But when his wife an amateur herbalist dies of poisoning in the spring of 1939 the local police-fearing Weir might luck out again-call in Scotland Yard. Chief Inspector Dan Pardoe and Detective Sergeant Salt aren't so sure that the professor murdered his wife-or his sister-in-law for that matter. There are any number of other possible suspects in and about the manor house including a mysterious older woman who rented a nearby cottage and befriended Mrs. Weir. This classic 1939 Golden Age detective novel marked the American debut of Dorothy Bowers a very talented writer in the Sayers school who might well have joined the ranks of the masters of the genre had she not died from tuberculosis at the age of 46 after completing only five novels.
