New York: E.P. Dutton & Co., Inc., 1963., 1963. First edition. First edition. Fine in dust jacket with a hint of wear to the foot of spine. Ten short stories that deserve attention. Includes The Shaggy Dog Murders featuring a large dog that looks friendly but death seems to be present when it's around; Life and Fire and Whistler's Murder feature Henry Smith, an insurance salesman, who picks his clients poorly; they range from a gang of kidnappers to a murder suspect; Teacup Trouble is a humorous tale about a pickpocket who meets more than his match when he takes in a kleptomaniac as a roommate; Good Night, Good Knight is the story of an elegant Bowery bum, whose ambition is to act the role he lives as a blackmailer. In Beware of the Dog a friendly animal becomes more of a detriment than a hostile one; a modern-day boy starting on a life of crime discovers the value of old-fashioned ways in Little Boy Lost; Satan One-And-A-Half shows that dead cats can go visiting; Tell 'Em, Pagliaccio! proves how nice it is that an elephant never forgets. The final story, Nothing Sinister, demonstrates why men should be more suspicious of stray bullets. An elusive title and a sharp copy.
