CANCELLED IN RED-Hugh Penfecost -Dodd, Mead ($2). The shooting of a racketeering stamp broker solved by another dealer, dapper Larry Storm, and by soft-voiced Inspector Bradley of the Manhattan force. Ably-plotted, humorous, backed with authoritative philatelic glue...
...five years (1925-30) the Schlessers slaughtered some 300,000 head of outlaws, salted their meat in 51 -gallon barrels, shipped most of it to Holland and Scandinavia.
