It's been awhile since I've posted a
Dell Mapback cover and Map for
MapBack Monday. Love these old books.. great stories and great graphics. The perfect match. Today's
Mapback is
Helen McCloy's Do Not Disturb (1943). The book also has a cast of characters with descriptions. The
Hotel Majestic is another hotel I won't be checking into any time soon.
I really like the
Helen McCloy books.
Check out the
Mapback covers and maps I've posted 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.
