The Green Tree Mystery
D. Appleton and Company, 1917.
First edition. Blue cloth, with gilt lettering. Four full page black and white illustrations by Charles L. Wren. A very good copy of an uncommon title, some scuffing to the edges and a split along the top edge of the spine.
Roman Doubleday was the pseudonym for Lily Augusta Long, poet and novelist, who "skillfully constructed mystery romance(s), where the denouement is so successfully concealed that the reader will have no solution of the puzzle before the time arrives for the revealing flash of the limelight."
