NEWKIRK, Newton. - Stealthy Steve, The Six-Eyed Sleuth. His Quest of the Big Blue Diamond. A Satirical Detective Story.

Title: Stealthy Steve, The Six-Eyed Sleuth. His Quest of the Big Blue Diamond. A Satirical Detective Story.
Description: Boston, Luce 1904. Narrow octavo publisher's blue cloth blocked in white (a touch of white gone from the front border, quite a bit from the spine lettering); illustrations by the author. Quite a good copy. ¶ First, presumably only, edition after its newspaper appearance; the title makes any further explanation unnecessary. Newkirk was a reasonably busy humourist and wrote a leaflet for a detective agency but I think this was the only appearance of Stealthy Steve.

Keywords: literature fiction c20th America thrillers detective humour
