Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Susan Yates, fashion designer, was called in by the district attorney's office to give an expert opinion in a murder case. Fingerprint men, photographers, detectives of every status and the assistant D. A. himself were working on the case, but there was one thing about the victim that brought them all up short-why would a fashionable young lady wear a décolleté evening gown over long winter underwear This was the way in which Prunella Parton was dressed when she was found murdered on an incoming ski train, and it was the reason for this peculiar garb that Susan Yates was called on to supply. Dressed to Kill is sophisticated and fast moving, with a humor both in dialogue and treatment which is distinctly of the present day and modern scene. An exceedingly complicated plot is handled with sureness and finesse. Dressed to Kill was first published in 1941. This edition includes an introduction by Curtis Evans.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The author of this cleverly written first mystery has been a newspaper reporter, foreign correspondent, American correspondent for London papers and press chairman of the Fashion Group. Consequently this story of murder and intrigue in the glamorous world of style and silhouette is told with a competence and sparkle which make it truly outstanding. A committee meeting of the Tomorrow Club, fashion arbiters supreme, was interrupted by the sudden collapse of Nancy Pierce, blonde, ornate, too showy for really good style, and a public menace to every male creature between eighteen and eighty. The other members felt that it was quite typical of Nancy to die publicly and conspicuously, consequently the first impression of suicide was given credence. Too many factors upset that convenient theory, and the district attorney's office sent young Lyle Curtis up to take charge. With the aid of Susan Yates, a charming and intelligent young person who gave him the clues to fit into a confusing pattern, Curtis followed through to another meeting of a fashion group, and found that death could end a case as well as begin one. Amusing, well plotted, and exceedingly well characterized, Murder in Style is the first of what promises to be a popular group of stories featuring Lyle Curtis and Susan Yates.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Susan Yates, distinguished and charming New York fashion designer, was one of the few people on a transatlantic liner who knew that a fabulous figure of New York's glamour trade lay dead behind the closed door of a stateroom. Susan was one of the stream of Americans returning to New York from Europe's war scare, and when Lyle Curtis, assistant district attorney, met her at quarantine, she was very glad that freedom of the port was one of the benefits of his friendship. A tremendous news story about the death of a prominent figure, an unsolved case that reflected no credit on the district attorney's office, and a heterogeneous group of shipboard companions who kept up the appearance of friendship for many months, combined to keep Lyle and Susan alternately co-operating and diverging in what turned out to be the biggest case Lyle had yet handled. Written with a brightness that insures amusement, Murder on the Face of It presents a plot that will not easily be solved by even the cleverest murder-mystery addicts. Murder on the Face of It was first published in 1940. This edition includes an introduction by Curtis Evans.…
