Dorothy Salisbury Davis has become known as one of America's finest crime writers through such novels as A Gentle Murderer, The Clay Hand, and Death of an Old Sinner. Her short stories have also won acclaim since they first started to appear in 1952. Now, here are fifteen of them collected in one volume.
"Lost Generation" is classic Dorothy Salisbury Davis: a chilling story of small-town policemen who cross the line between good and evil. In "A Matter of Public Notice," a midwestern town is set on edge by three strangulations of women who live alone. "Spring Fever" introduces readers to a farmer's wife who finds romance to be a fatal attraction. "By the Scruff of the Soul" presents a case of sibling rivalry turned deadly. And in "Mrs. Norris Observes," the inimitable crime-solving housekeeper happens upon an explosive scene at the New York Public Library. These and ten other stories are sometimes comic, sometimes terrifying, but always rewarding.
Born in Chicago in 1916, she grew up on farms in Wisconsin and Illinois and graduated from college into the Great Depression. She found employment as a magic-show promoter, which took her to small towns all over the country, and subsequently worked on the WPA Writers Project in advertising and industrial relations. During World War II, she directed the benefits program of a major meatpacking company for its more than eighty thousand employees in military service. She was married for forty-seven years to the late Harry Davis, an actor, with whom she traveled abroad extensively. She currently lives in Palisades, New York.
