193420636New York: Farrar & Rinehart Inc. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1934. First Edition. Hardcover. spine considerably turned but otherwise very little wear to book; the very attractive jacket has a few teensy-tiny nicks along top edge spine sun-browned light soiling to rear panel. pen & ink drawings Novel with rather a weird premise: during World War I while serving in France with the Canadian Army as did the author the protagonist of this tale has occasion to apparently kill the same German officer twice and then to encounter him yet a third time and witness his execution as a spy -- all of which has the cumulative effect of driving him stark raving mad. He eventually recovers but I know you've only counted to three and sure enough years later when he and his wife are skiing in Switzerland he is rescued after an accident on the slopes by a young German who appears to be the same guy! The jacket blurb says the story "has as its core mystery and compelling suspense though it is completely out of the category of detective fiction. It is a story of horror though unlike The Werewolf of Paris or The Cadaver of Gideon Wyck it has no time for atmosphere as it is preeminently a narrative of action. It takes as its background the World War although it is not a war story." The New York Times reviewer called it "a quite exceptional achievement a singular and powerful story." The author directed a handful of feature films in Hollywood in the half-dozen or so years prior to the publication of this book; his next book "They Gave Him a Gun" is probably his best known by virtue of having been made into the M-G-M film of the same name. .
