Phoebe Atwood Taylor
1942 - W. W. Norton &, New York - First Edition
‘He made rapid plans as he strode forward. After another look about the landing he’d visit Brandt’s studio. Somehow he could get in. Somewhere he should be able to find a clue to the girl’s name and her address...’
A superb copy in the striking dust jacket. Three Mayo Mysteries packed into one volume: the adventures of Taylor’s wonderfully imaginative and down-to-earth detective, Asey Mayo; dedicated protector of Cape Cod, as he catapults through crime scenes in a manner reminiscent of Laurel & Hardy.
Mayo’s personal history is ambiguous, since he seems to have engaged in secret work during World War I but once claimed to have spent the war years peeling potatoes.
