The Affair Of The Gallows Tree.

STEPHEN CHALMERS

Publication: Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc, 1930, Garden City

First edition. Fine copy in a fine, bright dust jacket, complete with a wraparound promotional band. Forest rangers, dam builders, and squatters, give this breathless story of murder and intrigue an unusual background. A woman walking through the woods saw a man's high laced boots hanging motionless in a cedar tree. Coming closer, she saw they were on the legs of a man, a man who hung from the tree with a rope around his neck. By the time the men from the Ranger camp had arrived, the body had disappeared, and there were no signs of it ever having been there. California setting. Crime Club mystery title and an exceptional copy.
