Author: BERRY, Edward Payson. Title: Where the Tides Meet.
Description: Boston, Arena Publishing 1893. Octavo publisher's cloth; a most misleading nautical extra illustrated title. A rather good copy. ¶ First (only?) edition? A New York thriller that isn't in Hubin and should be. Mostly set in the grimmer parts of New York and featuring a wealthy young do-gooder - fitting the Arena imprint - we have a murder, a detective, a scheming lawyer, a pickpocket with a monkey accomplice ... what else do we need? A gunfight? a crushed and bloody corpse? a river of blood? Can do.Being published by Arena may not have meant your novel was doomed to dark and perpetual obscurity but it got you well on the way.
