Clifford Orr also is, along with Rufus King (about whom I've blogged here a number of times), the subject of an essay I wrote for a forthcoming collection of 23 essays on detective fiction which I also edited. More about this soon! I also will soon have some information on another American vintage mystery writer whose pair of detective novels will be reissued by Coachwhip, with an introduction by me.
Meanwhile, here's a preview of the front and back covers of the Coachwhip Clifford Orr volume. Click the pic to reads the blurbs.
Double bills are always exciting when ti comes to tracing some rare volumes - thanks Curtis!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the twofer is a nice idea.
DeleteThanks for the heads up, Curtis!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the better designed covers from Coachwhip. Congrats on another excellent reprint idea. WAILING ROCK is very deserving of the reprint since it's definitely worth reading and nearly impossible to find at an affordable price in the used book market.
ReplyDeleteYes, as an original edition the book is now extremely rare and expensive, so it's especially nice to have an affordable edition; and when it's paired with his other, college, mystery, it makes for a winner in my estimation.
