Together with Deputy Man Hunter Parr of the New York Police Department, Armiston takes on cases of fraud, murder, and other nefarious activities in these ten dryly witty, cleverly constructed whodunits.\u003cbr\u003eAuthor Frederick Irving Anderson (1877-1947) was a star reporter for the \u003ci\u003eNew York World \u003c\/i\u003efrom 1898 to 1908 and a popular writer of crime fiction for \u003ci\u003eThe Saturday Evening Post \u003c\/i\u003eand other popular magazines. Because so many of his superb detective stories were written for periodicals, they fell into undeserved neglect. Steeped in the evocative atmosphere of a bygone New York, this collection offers fiction that's seasoned with shrewd evaluations of crime and criminals and enhanced with a delightfully low-key sense of humor.\u003cbr\u003eAnybody who enjoys crime novels should enjoy this book. -- Jolly Elementary School\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York World\u003c\/i\u003e reporter Frederick Irving Anderson (1877-1947) wrote crime fiction for \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eSaturday Evening Post\u003c\/i\u003e and other popular magazines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 17, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42176218366087,"sku":"9780486796574","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/582291b2c970cfa56871c711cdb999a1.webp?v=1733387958","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/book-of-murder-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
