KILLER IN THE KITCHEN

by Franklin James

New York: Lantern Press, Publishers, (1947).

First edition, first printing.

Dust jacket art by N. Tate.


With great tough-guy descriptions and hard-boiled lingo, this mystery surprisingly features a young, tough, Texas woman who has just lost back-to-back husbands in the war. She opens a roadhouse--her last husband's shared ambition dream--and soon has to sleuth-out and deal with a murder--and mobsters.

Bookplate to inside front cover, corners bumped, else very good in red linen with black embossed titles and vignette illustration of the suspect to the spine; in a very good dust jacket missing an inch from the lower spine end, small chips to the upper spine end, short shelf-edge tears, and with rubbing to the flap folds and corners; original printed $2.00 price still intact to the front inner flap.
