Description
1943 Triangle Books edition. Missing dustjacket. Hardcover has some shelf wear at edges and corners. The pages are clean and in good condition. The binding is secure.
This intriguing mystery novel, “Bats Fly at Dusk” by A.A. Fair (the pseudonym of renowned author Erle Stanley Gardner), offers a captivating glimpse into the Golden Age of detective fiction. Published in 1943, during the height of World War II, the book provides an escape into the world of amateur sleuth and lawyer Douglas Selby, whose adventures unfold against the backdrop of wartime California. Gardner’s skilled storytelling and intricate plotting have earned him a place among the masters of the genre, and this particular edition bears the hallmarks of its era, with its sturdy Triangle Books hardcover binding and lack of a dust jacket, a common casualty of the time. Despite its age and gentle wear, the clean pages and secure binding invite readers to immerse themselves in a riveting mystery that offers both entertainment and a window into a bygone era.
