Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Substantial mid-century anthology of documented criminal cases compiled by journalist and crime writer Sam D. Cohen, presenting one hundred real investigations drawn from American police records, court proceedings, and contemporary reporting. The volume features an introduction by Lewis J. Valentine, New York City Police Commissioner from 1934-1945, whose tenure was marked by major reforms in policing and organized-crime enforcement. Valentine's participation positions the book within the tradition of mid-20th-century crime literature closely connected with professional law-enforcement perspectives. The cases span a wide range of dramatic crimes - from murders and robberies to elaborate fraud schemes and unusual investigative challenges - while emphasizing the work of detectives, prosecutors, and forensic investigators. Stories such as 'The Keystone Massacre,' 'The Murder in the Snow,' and 'The Jewelry Salesman's Murderer' illustrate the investigative methods used by police departments during the early twentieth century. The acknowledgments page credits numerous detectives, district attorneys, and investigators, suggesting that Cohen drew from contemporary law-enforcement contacts and case archives. As a result, the book occupies an interesting position between popular true-crime storytelling and early criminology-style case documentation. Book Very Good.

Published by The World Publishing Company (Cleveland & New York) with Library of Congress catalog number present, consistent with a true first edition / first printing. Sam D. Cohen was a mid-20th-century journalist and crime writer known for compiling collections of real criminal cases drawn from police records, courtroom proceedings, and contemporary reporting. His work belongs to the early tradition of American true-crime literature that predated the narrative style later popularized by authors such as Truman Capote. By combining dramatic storytelling with documented investigations, Cohen's compilations brought authentic law-enforcement cases to a wide readership.
