The Complete Philo Vance series-two 'Murder Cases' in each Leonaur
volume
S. S. Van Dine was reckoned to be the favourite crime fiction
writer of two United States Presidents. Certainly, novels about his
famous character, the erudite Philo Vance, topped the best seller
lists for months and broke all records in their day for sales of
detective fiction. In the first story of this first Leonaur volume,
'The Benson Murder Case', we are introduced to the dilettante hero
of this riveting detective series. Another 'man about town' has
been slain and the man we know as Vance feels he is uniquely
qualified to assist the NYPD to seek out the identity of the
murderer. To the satisfaction of his many fans he has embarked on a
remarkable and entertaining career in the solution of bizarre
crimes. In the second story 'The Canary Murder Case', a sexy
night-club singer known as the 'Canary' is found murdered in her
apartment. She had a number of men in her life, ranging from high
society figures to mobsters from the criminal underbelly of New
York in the roaring twenties. All have an alibi, but it could be
that one of them is a killer. Philo Vance 'Murder Cases' were
phenomenally popular in America and many were translated to the
movie screen. Leonaur have gathered together all of these classic
crime novels into one collection to bring them together for
existing fans and new enthusiasts to enjoy anew.
