Visually the book's exterior appearance is more than acceptable [dw/dj aside - only included as is and for overall completeness] and particularly internally,the book is in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of its 55+ year-old age. It really is still an exceptional example for its cleanliness and brightness. It seemed no case for criminal investigation: Henry Crimshaw went out fishing alone in a small boat,was caught in a storm and not seen again.From all evidence he was swept overboard.But since he carried a $150,000 life insurance policy,the insurers wanted proof of his death. For Lt. Richard Martingale the assignment was simply one of helping the insurance investigator find out more about the disappearance.But he became personally involved when he met Crimshaw's attractive wife,and then becomes the victim of an assault.Then violence occurs in many forms: robbery,attack,murder.And the job of finding the connecting links becomes Martingale's in one of Lionel White's most realistic and exciting suspense novels. Lionel White (b. 9th July,1905 d. 26th December,1985) was an American journalist and crime novelist, several of whose dark,noirish noirish stories were made into films. These include his books 'The Snatchers (made into a film as The Night of the Following Day directed by Hubert Cornfield,starringMarlon Brando; 'The Money Trap' (made into a movie by Burt Kennedy starring Glenn Ford and Elke Sommer),'Clean Break' (adapted by Kubrick as the basis for his 1956 film The Killing), 'Obsession' (adapted by Jean-Luc Godard as the basis for his 1965 film Pierrot le fou, and by the Finnish director Seppo Huunonen for the 1974 film The Hair),and 'Rafferty', adapted by 1980 Soviet Lenfilm production of the same title. Lionel White (aka L.W. Blanco) had been a crime reporter and began writing suspense novels in the 1950s. He wrote more than 35 books,all translated into a number of different languages.His earlier novels were published as Gold Medal crime fiction,but when Duttons (US publisher, E; P. Dutton & Company,Inc.) began a line of mystery and suspense books,he also wrote for them.
