Seller's Description:
Steele, Frederic Dorr. As New. No Jacket. Trade Paperback 1st prtg. (Originally published in 1934). This is the 1st full-length Mr. Fortune novel. Foreward by Tom & Enid Schantz. Lady Rosnay has insisted that Reginald Fortune attend her fancy dress ball, but the merriment is disrupted when the old lady takes a tumble down the stairs and loses her diamond tiara. She is strangely unruffled by the incident, which intrigues Reggie, who is also almost certain she was pushed. But the mischief is just getting under way. Two murders follow, and Reggie, along with his friend Lomas, head of Scotland Yard's C.I.D., begin investigating in earnest. Their suspects include Simon Osmond, a rising young politician whose plans to marry Lady Rosnay's niece, Alix Lynn, have been vetoed by the imperious old lady, as well as the headstrong Alix herself. Reggie, a country doctor whose languid demeanor conceals a sharp intellect and keenly observant eye, is certain that some very deadly mischiefmakers are at work here. But, he complains to Lomas, "we're only seeing what's arranged for us and the shadows of the people behind." This first full-length Mr. Fortune novel, published in 1934 after many short story collections featuring his exploits, is a model of the Golden Age fair-play detective novel so beloved by fans of Christie, Sayers, and Allingham.
