Reprint. Octavo (19cm); blue pictorial paper wrappers; 128pp. Wrappers creased and lightly soiled, with rubbing about the extremities; stray pencil mark on front. Textblock edged and preliminaries foxed; date penciled on title page (January 12, 1942); mild reading wear, else Very Good overall, very scarce. The third entry in Hil…lman's "Detective Novel Classics" series, this humorously lurid mystery pulp tells the tale of an "electrical wizard" who is found dead in his personal electrocuting chamber (every house needs one). Our range of suspects include the usual dames and dodgy guys, all to be investigated by our chain-smoking detective, Marty Cohen. Published under a joint pen name used by ecclectic writer and filmmaker Abraham Polonsky, who was blacklisted by the HUAC in 1951; this story is actually a reissue of his 1940 The Goose is Cooked, written in alternating chapters with novelist Mitchell A. Wilson. Don't miss the hilarious "dead giveaway" on page 89 with the two real authors referring to themselves by name.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good+. Good dj. First Edition. [good sound copy with some light dust-soiling to the top edge of the text block; the jacket is heavily edgeworn, scuffed and rubbed, with some internal brown-tape reinforcement/repair along the top and bottom edges, a bit of paper loss at the top of the spine, and some s…oiling to the rear panel]. First adventure (and last?) for detective Marty Cohen, "who had made Law Review at Columbia and who had his eye on the office of District Attorney," and who is described on the jacket copy as "a combination of Sherlock Holmes and Clark Gable." The pseudonymous writing duo soon went their separate ways, Wilson as a novelist and Polonsky as a screenwriter/director whose career was eclipsed by the Hollywood blacklist.
