Publication: Harper & Brothers, Publishers, 1930, New York and London
First edition. Author's second book. Residue from original Harper seal present on rear fly leaf, light foxing to page edges, else very good in a fine, fresh dust jacket. Detective Sergeant Gilmore and Tommy Rankin of the Philadelphia police solve the murder of a successful stock broker whose mangled body was found on the railroad tracks. There are numerous motives and just as many suspects ... gansters with a thirst for revenge, a secretary who'd previously been convicted of manslaughter, or perhaps a desperate "bear" speculator. Handsome copy.
