Abstract

A Quartet on Crime

MacCormick, Austin H. | April 15, 1936 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents discussion on four books. The books are "Fighting the Underworld" by Philip S. Van Cise, "Crime's Nemesis," by Luke S. May, "Farewell, Mr. Gangster!," by Herbert Corey and "Cheese It--The Cops!," by Emanuel H. Lavine. "Crime's Nemesis" deals with the scientific detection of crime. It loses entertainment value for the casual reader. To the professional reader, however, it has greater value because May is a highly competent scientific investigator who is writing about his own cases.
