Dealer Notes
"A Homer Evans Murder Mystery". "This story is written for the reader's amusement ... if he tastes the true flavor of Paris in its best American days, or learns anything about art or antiquity, the author asks him to keep it dark, in order not to frighten timid customers." (cf. Author's Preface).
