Death In The Cards.

ANN T. SMITH

Publication: Published by Bartholomew House, Inc, 1946, New York, 1947

First paperback edition. Bart House Book 34. Light wear to head of spine and top corner of front panel, else very good copy in pictorial wrappers. Carrie O'Toole Selton, an eccentric and superstitious Boston landlady, was found strangled by her own red scarf. In her had was a note: "The Stroke of Death. May it forever part our ways." Her ancient house on Brattle Street was sinister enough at best; a corpse did not help the ambience. Nor were the assorted tenants Mrs. Selton had collected (because she had "seen them in the cards") calculated to inspire confidence. Inspector Green of Boston Homicide was given the thankless task of plucking a murderer out a group of suspects, any of whom could have been legitimately judged insane!
