It's a mystery, but unlike any mystery you've ever read, because the \"detectives\" in this tale are quite recognizable -- as mystery writers of the Golden Age, such as S.S. Van Dine, G.K. Chesterton, Dashiell Hammett, James Cain, and Sax Rohmer. The book has an introduction, The Smiling Corpse-A Re-Introduction by J. Randolph Cox, as well as a Preface by John Graham Ballantine, and there's even a \"Who's Who\" in case you've forgotten some of the old masters of mystery who show up as characters in this crazy novel. There are also several beautiful illustrations by Georg Hartmann.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilip Wylie was known for his many novels, and this is one of his oddest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 234\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 03, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Print:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42705999429695,"sku":"9781495426940","price":29.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/2f0e4004a522b8ae2760161d39e3aa4b.webp?v=1765038797","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-smiling-corpse-large-print-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
