THE WILDCAT
By Sinclair Gluck
New York: Dodd Mead & Company, 1932. First American edition, first printing. 1932 date printed in Roman numerals to the title page. A hard-boiled mystery and high-action adventure starring ex-cowboy cum U.S. Secret Service deputy agent, Tommy Dunbar, and tough and witty Elva North who become tangled-up with a gang of crooks maneuvering large scale crime operations. Gluck, a prolific early mystery author is best known for THE LAST TRAP, adapted to the Charles Lamont directed film THE DARK HOUR starring Irene Ware, Ray Walker, Hedda Hopper, and William V. Mong. Quite sound and presentable. Slight wear to upper and lower spine edges, light fading to the spine, else very good in waxed blue linen with decorative beveled edges, orange embossed titles and illustration of a lurking wildcat on a tree branch to the front cover, and with orange titles to the spine, light-blue end-papers; lacking a dust jacket. Gluck's mysteries are rather elusive and this title is quite scarce. FREE SHIPPING TO THE USA PLEASE VIEW FOR MORE GREAT FIRST EDITION MYSTERY BOOKS THANKS! |
