MARY ROBERTS RINEHART

Publication: Farrar & Rinehart, Inc, 1941, New York

First edition. Former owner's inked name and date on front fly leaf, else fine tight square copy in dust jacket with two tiny closed tears to top edge of front panel. Six mystery short stories that have never before appeared in book form. THE LIPSTICK tells the story of a young woman who jumps from the window of her doctor's reception room to her death. It could only have been suicide as she was the only one in the room and no one else had entered. But her cousin has other ideas and wonders why would the victim have put on fresh lipstick only to jump to her death? There are five additional mysteries, DEADLY IS THE DIAMOND by Mignon Eberhart, TROUBLED WATERS by Philip Wylie, CAT AND MOUSE by Hugh Pentecost, DEATH RIDES THE SKI TOW by Q. Patrick, and I'LL BE GLAD WHEN YOU'RE DEAD by Dana Lyon. A handsome copy published during World War II when materials were scarce. The back panel of the dust jacket is a call to buy war bonds.
