Author: LEWIS, Alfred Henry.
Title: Confessions of a Detective.
Description: NY, Barnes 1906. Octavo publisher's decorated red cloth blocked in gilt and white; eight plates. Minor signs of use, rather good with the slightest loss of white from the spine. ¶ First edition. The title story is an earthy account of the rise from uniform to detective in New York subtitled 'A Study in Graft'. This seems to have won the book a place in the detective guidebooks as proto-hardboiled. The rest chronicle the triumphs of Inspector Val.
