NO COFFIN FOR THE CORPSE

Clayton Rawson

  NO COFFIN FOR THE CORPSE (1942) was the final of the four Great Merlini novels by Clayton Rawson. DEATH FROM A TOP HAT (1938) began the series, followed by THE FOOTPRINTS ON THE CEILING (1939) and THE HEADLESS LADY in 1940. He also wrote DEATH OUT OF THIN AIR in 1947 under the pseudonym, Stuart Towne. Ramble House is proud to bring the four Merlini books back for modern readers. Their blend of magic lore and logical detective work has never been matched and you learn about historical legerdemain at the same time you’re enjoying a rousing “impossible” mystery. With Gavin O’Keefe’s beautiful new cover art the new Ramble House editions will be the centerpiece of your vintage library.
