    New York: Detective Book Club, (1943) dj. Hardcover first edition - An omnibus edition containing three complete mystery novels - The Case of The Drowsy Mosquito by Gardner in which Perry Mason agrees to take on a case of mine ownership manipulation (and suggests marriage to Della Street); Motto for Murder by Mace, set at snowed in house in the Adirondacks; The Affair of The Fainting Butler by Knight set in Los Angeles and featuring Professor Huntoon Rogers. One of the pleasures of these omnibus volumes, which combine three very different works in one book, is the opportunity they create of discovering authors or novels which might be unknown to you. The pages appear to be acid free, and are still white and supple, unlike many books from this era. Each novel paginated individually - 214, 193, 212 pp. Back cover of dust jacket has an ad for the Detective Book Club and a reminder to buy war stamps and bonds.
