Sobre este artículo
Rust colored cloth covered hardcover boards with tan lettering to spine. Book very slightly coced. Corners bumped and minoredgewear. Age toning througout text with damp stains on several pages. No evidence of wrinkled pages, very clean and readab;e copy. Binding is still intact.
Dust jacket has old prior taping, general edgewear and chipping, with age toning. Open tears (small) and severalclosed tears to front and back covers. Price of $2.00 still intact.
This work is the true first edition of Dorothy Hughes 2nd crime novel. It was later republished under the title "The Crose Eyed Bear Murders". (why not "Gladly the Cross Eyed Bear'? They missed a great pun there!)
More seriously, Hughes writing style and suspensful plots exemplify the hard boiled genre of crime and detective novels. The mystery writer Walter Masely write that her fiction "...captures an unease under the skin of everyday life in a way that is all her own."
