Hot Freeze, by “Martin Brett,” aka Ronald Douglas Sanderson (Popular Library, 1954). This was the first book in a series starring Michel “Mike” Garfin, a former Mountie turned private eye operating in Montreal, Quebec. Cover illustration by Sam Cherry.
Love the excerpt on the back cover, but reference the front cover...did they really print abridged editions of paperbacks in the '50s? Cool.
