Mexico City: Albatros, 1946. 1st Edition. 1st Edition. Helu, Antonio. LA OBLIGACION DE ASESINAR. [HE COMPULSION TO MURDER] Mexico City: Albatros, 1946. First edition. A nice near fine or better copy of this Queen Quorum # 102 title: " Antonio Helu was founded a south-of-the-border school of detection, & created the first great Mexican manhunter, Maximo Roldan. In the earliest tale to appear in the United States, Roldan solved an intricate and baffling murder to prove that crime does pay: for by solving the murder Roldan was able to pocket 10,000 pesos in jewels, thus combining (bloodhound) business with (pilfering) pleasure. The wages of sin, in Roldan's lexicon of larceny, is---detection." A very nice example. $350.
