Publication: Frederick A Stokes Company, 1933, New York
First edition. Author's sixth mystery novel. Fine, bright copy in dust jacket, with light wear to spine ends and the extremities with a small closed tear and crease to the bottom edge of the front cover. A baffling murder takes place at "The Colosseum" in New York City, during the gala opening performance of the old-timers' Wild West Rodeo. Ellery must solve a crime which could have easily occurred many years ago in the West. He must contend on the one hand with sophisticated New Yorkers, and on the other hand cowboys, cowgirls, bronc-busters, etc. from the West. An attractive copy of this early Queen title.
