With an introduction by Robert B. Parker. "Women in the Dark" was published in Liberty magazine in three installments in April of 1933 and was published in a pulp paperback edition in the 1950s. This is its first appearance in hardcover and with Robert B. Parker's introduction.  From the dust wrapper flap: "Nighttime. A young woman appears at the door of an isolated house. She is frightened and hurt. She speaks with a foreign accent. The man and woman inside take her in. Other strangers appear, in obvious pursuit of the girl. There is menace in the air - some unspoken, unexplained aura of violence and misdeed..."  Very fine in dust wrapper and protective mylar.
