Dead Straight; or, Harlow Jack's Life Mystery. Old Sleuth's Own No.94.

OLD SLEUTH [pseudonym of HASLEY, Harlan Page] (1837-1898).

New York, NY: J.S. Ogilvie Publishing Company, [circa 1920]. DIME NOVEL. Octavo paperback (19 x 12cm), pp.80 [20]. Publisher's illustrated paper covers, stapled twice. Heavily browned throughout, as expected. Only very light wear to covers, with a chip from the lower corner of the front cover, and a couple of small chips to the back cover. A rare survival. Near fine. References in the advertisements to U-Boats, and to books being made available for the first time 'since the war', suggests a date in the early 1920's. Item #59780
