Description

New York: Novel Selections, Inc.. Very Good. (c.1943). 1st printing thus. Softcover. [moderate wear to edges and extremities, some creasing in front cover, otherwise a good sound copy]. (A Detective Novel Classic, No. 35) Series Digest-format mystery novel, "a high-powered, potent mixture of murder and politics, with a turnabout sleuth who had to solve the crimes by hushing up evidence, instead of uncovering it." That sleuth was "hard-boiled, capable Bill Rye, confidential agent, [who] had a tough time keeping the temperamental Callahan clan out of the headlines. But that was his job -- and it paid well. Head of the powerful Calexico Oil Company, Edward Callahan was undisputed political boss of the state of California. His figurehead, Governor Quarrie, was up for re-election -- on a platform of clean politics. All the opposition needed was a juicy scandal about Callahan to carry the state." Published in hardcover by E.P. Dutton & Co. .
