Item description from seller

The first Cellini Smith novel, set in New York. "In just three novels and nine black mask novelettes, Robert Reeves produced some of the most entertaining and offbeat hard-boiled crime fiction of the late Thirties and early Forties." - Pronzini and Muller, 1001 Midnights, The Aficionado's Guide to Mystery and Detective Fiction, pp. 669-70. [Note-Reeves was primarily a Black Mask author and had a dozen pieces of short fiction in the pulps]. Reeves career was unfortunately cut short as he was killed in action in WW II. [Reference: Pronzini and Muller, 1001 Midnights, The Aficionado's Guide to Mystery and Detective Fiction, pp. 669-70. Hubin, p. 672]. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket with a touch of shelf wear and a small closed tear at the head of the rear panel. An unread, uncirculated copy. (27614).
