Description: This 1945 Unicorn Mystery Book Club omnibus gathers four suspenseful novels from some of the most intriguing mystery writers of the mid-twentieth century: Margaret Millar’s The Iron Gates, Marjorie Carleton’s Cry Wolf, Thomas B. Dewey’s Hue and Cry, and Dorothy Cameron Disney’s The 17th Letter.
Together, these stories create a wonderfully immersive collection—full of psychological twists, atmospheric settings, and the kind of slow-burn tension that vintage mystery lovers treasure. At more than 900 pages, this is a book to sink into on long evenings, discovering four different voices from the Golden Age of crime fiction.
Readers who enjoy classic mysteries, noir storytelling, book-club history, or simply the pleasure of holding a well-made vintage volume will find this omnibus irresistible. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who loves forgotten gems and rediscovering authors who deserve a new audience.
