KEELER, Harry Stephen (1890-1967). Group of (9) Novels. [V.P.,] ca. 1930s. 10 volumes. 8vos. Original cloth and buckram binding stamped black. Some with dust jackets. Comprising: The Master of the Fiddling Cracksman, The Tiger Snake, The Face of the Man From Saturn, The Search for X-Y-Z, The Fourth King, The Crilly Court Mystery, The Amazing Web, The Blue Spectacles, The Voice of the Seven Sparrows. Sometimes called "the greatest bad writer in America," Keeler was a prolific Chicago pulp and crime writer, now famous for his convoluted "webwork" plots of "ludicrous but internally consistent coincidence." Represented here is a cross-section of his standalone non-series works, including his first novel, The Voice of the Seven Sparrows.
