Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1907. Hardcover. Near Fine. First edition. Very slightly cocked and page edges a little soiled, a near fine copy lacking the rare dustwrapper. Author's second mystery, filmed at least three times in the silent era (once with a screenplay by Thomas Dixon, Jr.). Vance's *Lone Wolf* is a Haycraft-Queen cornerstone. (Inventory #: 27836)
