About This Item
London : Ralph Stokes for the Gaywood Press, [ca.1952]. First edition. "There were seven names on the list from the commissioner, and one name on that list would have paid a million dollars to get hold of it. That name handled the new drug racket that was sweeping the town and threatening the whole of the States" - Ace Capelli was a house name used variously by Geoffrey Pardoe, Stephen Frances (Hank Janson) and Norman Lazenby. Although over thirty Capelli titles are known, only fourteen or so are represented in major collections. Crown 8vo (19cm). [iv],9-(116)pp. Original pictorial stapled wrappers - blonde in need of a prayer; some light wear and creasing; spine and part of rear wrapper lightly discoloured; small puncture, without loss, to cover and first few leaves; staples rusted; text lightly tanned, but a good and serviceable copy of an uncommon title. No copy located in any major library worldwide.
