About This Item
New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1946. First edition. A fine copy in a nearly fine dust jacket with a touch of rubbing to the corner tips and spine ends, 16 mm closed tear to the upper front panel at spine edge, some mild rubs to folds and a tiny rub to the front panel. A bright copy. (23530). Octavo, cloth. Author's first novel. "Bardin's three novels have close affinities with the Hollywood "film noir" of the 1940s, combining eerily mysterious occurrences with an interest in abnormal psychology and dreams, and an almost Gothic sense of the ways in which the past interpenetrates the present." - St. James Guide to Crime & Mystery Writers, p. 47.
