Description
This is the first American edition. Eugene Valmont is a “natty little French-man with sublime self-assurance, a quick, Gallic wit, and a poor opinion of the English police.” Besides being the first French detective to appear in English detective fiction, Valmont also is an influence on all those to come, including Agatha Christie’s famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot. Queen’s Quorum no. 35 and a Haycraft-Queen selection.
