Henry Holt started his career as a wordsmith by becoming a reporter. Eventually he graduated to becoming a professional novelist. His first mystery novel was published in 1929 by Harrap and his output continued steadily until 1961 when Robert Hale published Don't Shoot Darling. He had two repeat characters, Inspector Silver and Mike Logan, both good solid creations. American readers should be aware that several of the books were published with different titles to those in the United Kingdom. The Collins Crime Club era produced some fabulous dust jackets to adorn the author's work. The artwork and this publisher holds most of the author's current collectability. This is a shame as we have always felt the author deserves greater recognition today. He was certainly every bit as good as many who remain better known. |
