I really like the Helen McCloy books.
Check out the covers and maps for:

Helen McCloy (June 6, 1904 – December 1, 1994), is the pseudonym of Helen Clarkson. She was an American mystery writer, whose series character Dr. Basil Willing debuted in Dance of Death (1938). Willing believes, that "every criminal leaves psychic fingerprints, and he can't wear gloves to hide them." He appeared in 13 of McCloy's novels and in several of her short stories. McCloy often used the theme of doppelganger, but in the end of the story she showed a psychological or realistic explanation for the seemingly supernatural events.

Janet, I'm on a McCloy binge, thanks to the recent Kindle sale! I just finished and reviewed Through a Glass Darkly and Mr. Splitfoot, and now I'm in the middle of The Slayer and the Slain, where I suspect the doppelgänger motif is about to rear its ugly head again! Thanks for showing the map back! I wish I had more used bookstores around me and more people throwing away great old mysteries like this one!
