Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Night Nurse' is a gripping and atmospheric work of 1930s fiction that delves into the gritty underworld of the medical profession. The story follows Lora Hart, a dedicated young nurse whose commitment to her patients leads her into a dangerous web of greed, corruption, and murder. Set against the backdrop of a high-stakes hospital environment, the narrative explores the moral complexities faced by those on the front lines of healthcare during a period of social upheaval.When Lora is assigned to care for two young children in a wealthy but dysfunctional household, she discovers a sinister plot orchestrated by a ruthless chauffeur and a neglectful mother. As she fights to save her young charges from a calculated plan of starvation and medical malpractice, Lora must navigate a world where professional ethics clash with cold-blooded ambition. This fast-paced thriller combines the tension of a medical drama with the dark aesthetics of early noir fiction, offering a compelling look at the vulnerabilities of the innocent and the courage required to protect them. 'Night Nurse' remains a significant example of Pre-Code era storytelling, celebrated for its bold portrayal of systemic corruption and its unflinching look at the darker side of human nature.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. (patterned cloth; no dust jacket) [nice copy, slight fading to spine cloth, a couple of tiny stains on front cover; M-G-M Script Dept. label on front endpaper, also stamped "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Library, Culver City"] One of this many "scandalous" novels by this author, who also wrote as Grace Perkins and Grace Perkins Oursler (her married name; her husband was Fulton Oursler, author of "The Greatest Story Ever Told"). At this stage of her career, she was just about the perfect "pre-Code" writer, with several of her books having served as the basis for some of the racier movies of the day -- notably MY PAST (1931, based on her anonymously-penned "Ex-Mistress") and NIGHT NURSE (1931, from her novel of the same name). This one starts with a terrific 8-page "Preamble" -- "which may be read at the start or the finish or completely ignored" -- which decries the looseness of women in modern society. ("Prostitutes and actresses set the style. Not that the two groups can be mentioned in the same breath except as one would say that pickles and cucumbers are both good side dishes.") Although not marked as such, this copy is from the personal library of MGM writer/producer Carey Wilson, who I guess took it home from the Script Department and just ignored the "Please Return" label. …

All this book needs is the dust jacket.…
