GRAEME, DAVID. The Sword of Monsieur Blackshirt by David Graeme. Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1936. First Edition - American. The author’s own copy with his Bruce Graeme bookplate. David Graeme and even Bruce Graeme are writing pseudonyms of Graham Montague Jeffries. These Blackshirt novels starred a 'gentleman criminal', in a series of crime and adventure novels published between 1925 and 1969, written by Bruce Graeme then taken over by his son Roderic Jeffries. Very good copy in a striking pictorial dust jacket with a few very tiny chips and tears.
