Walter B. Gibson originally titled this "The Cigarette Cipher" which explains the cover. Read this review for a little more insight into the mysterious title change. I have to say I'm not familiar with cigarette case that has a clock in it, but it may be part of the story or even a popular item in the mid 30's. Anyhow, I love the cover with the cipher images used for the backdrop. This is one story I look forward to reading.

did you ever read this one? There is a web site that has a lot of the books that you can download:http://www.blogicalthoughts.com/2011/01/08/ebooks-2/
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't read this one. I'm kind of a slow reader and have been reading the reprints in as close of an order as to when they were written rather than published. I have them all in digital format but I prefer to read them with the illustrations and they way they were read back in the day.
