About This Item
Doubleday, Doran & Co., Inc., Garden City, New York, 1930. First Edition. Condition: Very Good. No dust jacket. 289 pp. Text sunned typical of age, clean and unmarked except for prior owner attribution on front free endpaper. Faded rent tint on top edge and deckled outer edge. This story has a great twisty plot full of disguises and smugglers and murders. It's set in New York City and on Long Island during prohibition. Dale and his fiancee make up a sort of vigilante team bringing crooks to justice when they've managed to elude the cops. Last page is a plea to the reader not to reveal the ending.
