About This Item
New York: McClure, Phillips & Co, 1900. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. 8vo. [7], 4-289, [1], [6] (pages of publisher's advertisements), [2] pp. Green vertically-ribbed publisher's cloth with gilt lettering and black decorations on the front board, gilt lettering on the spine. Henderson 470. Wright III 4647. Green's story features her detective and first character, Ebenezer Gryce (a member of the New York police force). In this story, Gryce is searching for a new adventure instead of retiring to his farm. Green's stories introduced a large number of plot points that we now consider conventions of mystery and detective fiction (maps of the scene of the crime, the detective falling in love with a beautiful suspect, bodies in the library, etc.). Light rubbing to the bottom edges of the boards.
