Trade paperback. Édouard Letailleur (1897-1976) wrote ten mystery novels, published in Paris between 1932 and 1937. These crime mysteries have long been admired by aficionados for their eerie atmospheres and super-natural overtones. This volume features three of the author’s best mysteries - 'A Crime in Sologne', 'Perkane the Night-Demon' & 'Crier for the Dead' - translated into English for the first time. Translator Georges T. Dodds also provides an introduction detailing Letailleur’s life and work, as well as placing his œuvre within the context of French crime fiction publishing.
