Dragon’s Cave (1940), Clyde B. Clason’s 8th Professor Lucius Theocritus Westborough mystery novel, offers not one but two locked-room puzzles. A collector of edged weapons is murdered with a 16th century Swiss halberd. Witty, polished, erudite.

Leigh Brackett's 1944 novel No Good from a Corpse is fine hardboiled stuff. A PI takes a case for a client he hates. There's a rich assortment of crooked PIs, deranged alcoholics, insane ex-cons and as many no-good dames as you could wish for.
