New York: Book Supply Company, 1946. dj. Hardcover first edition - A later novel by the most prolific black filmmaker in American cinema - a story of "action, adventure, murder, love and suspense." Includes a preface by the "publisher" explaining why Micheaux's novels are not reviewed by the mainstream press, even though he is one of only two "Negroes making a living from his writing." The explanation given is that Micheaux dares to write about forbidden topics, including relationships between white women and black men. The preface is repeated on the rear cover of the dustjacket and the front cover is emblazoned with the words "Daring and Sensational!" An attractive production bound in dark red cloth with gilt lettering, full color illustrated endpapers, color frontispiece and a striking dustjacket. 416 pp.
