What is The Dancing Detective about?
The author of Phantom Lady and Deadline at Dawn, both made into smash motion picture hits, presents here a superb collection of spine-chillers, each a polished example of the art of detection, in which Mr. Irish again proves his unique ability to let the reader share the agony of the hunted and the terror of the doomed. The themes range from the gory case of Ginger, the ten-cents-a-dance girl, heroine of the title story, to the trick which a light in a window played on a soldier who had faith that his girl would be waiting for him when he came home. Grim humor runs through some of the tales, taut suspense through them all; for William Irish is a master of the sinister and the macabre, and in a class by himself in the psychological horror story. The Dancing Detective represents him at his varied best.
