Jack O’Lantern – George Goodchild – First Edition 1930 – Dust Jacket Designed by “Gene”

First edition published by The Mystery League in 1930. Scarce and in very good condition albeit the dust jacket chipped at the corners and spine ends … but what a beauty

Jack O’Lantern the cleverest of criminals ever to pit his wits against the machinery for man-finding! Superb entertainment and the “Gene” Art Deco dust jacket a Voyager favourite.

Could anyone beat Jack O’Lantern?
